这是由天华建筑规划工程有限公司设计的SND文化运动中心。该项目位于苏州科技城内，背靠小龙山，被太湖大道和浒光运河所环抱，占地20公顷，建筑面积17万平方米。项目所在场地曾是采石场，挖掘后留下的巨大石坑形成了湖面，而剩下的石壁环绕着湖的另一边。建筑师以地形的脉络作为设计的出发点，以“云状的岩石”作为设计概念，延续原有的山体和石壁，让整个建筑与环境融合在一起。建筑师希望建筑成为山的延续，融为周边环境的一部分，以亲切的尺度成为消隐于城市环境的地景式建筑。

From the architect. The SND Cultural & Sports Centre is located in Suzhou Science & Technology Town, hemmed in by the Taihu Avenue and the Huguang Canal and backed by the Little Dragon Hill. It covers an area of more than 200,000sqm and a floor area of 170,000 sqm.The aim is to make the Centre an extension of the hills in a bid to merge the entire complex into the context. The scheme, therefore, is an attempt to create an architecture that perfectly fits into its surroundings instead of a detached “square box”.

As part of the urban space and people’s day-to-day life, the enormous Centre is designed in the form of a pyramid of program units to appear less formidable and become an integral part of the city. Such spatial structure that is closely linked with the functions defines the core idea of “cloud-shaped rockery”.In a digital era, architects aim to create spaces as intricate as the Taihu stones out of simple, abstract square units arranged in a Rubik's Cube-like way.

The concept of “cloud-shaped rockery” carries on the city’s tradition and symbolizes its future. In compliance with the unique spatial layout of classical gardens, the flexible spaces are designed to create further operational potential. It is perhaps this strategy that can make the programs more flexible and keep the design concept as it is when there is a need for change in the future, amid uncertainties in the domestic construction climate.

The scheme shifts its focus away from serving the project’s original program to become part of our daily life, even kind of an extension: the high street, along which pedestrians are able to take a shortcut and access elsewhere, and the open spaces crisscrossing the site enable the huge complex to host residents’ daily activities.

The terraced square on a six-meter-high platform serving as the site’s main transit area, alongside the high street, is an encapsulation of the diverse and complex urban life, in which inhabitants routinely shift between activities of stroll, shopping, short breaks and interaction. As a multi-purpose cultural and sports complex, the SND Cultural & Sports Centre is mainly designed for cultural, sports and commercial purposes, with facilities such as cultural centre, library, stadium, fitness centre , cinema and open-air recreation square.
