The Grand Canal Sports Park, a multifunctional park and sports venue for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou, China, has recently been awarded the China Construction Engineering Luban Prize, the top award recognizing construction quality in China. The park was designed by Archi-Tectonics, the New York based firm founded by Miller Professor and Chair of Architecture, Winka Dubbeldam.
Gongshu Canal Sports Park is designed for fitness. The "eco-park" has two primary stadiums connected by a "valley village" pedestrian mall and five other buildings covered by green roofs. The stadiums will hold events, such as, field hockey and table tennis. The park is meant to be incorporated into the daily life of Hangzhou, one of China's fastest-growing cities after the games are over.
