World Games Stadium | Toyo Ito

Interested in the curvature and the arrayed solar panels, the sketch of the stadium was made to explore the possible principle of the geometric form of the roof.

Study a little bit on controlling the density of the grids laid over the skeleton. Small circles are filled into the grids and are made tangent to the grids, so that by controlling the radiance of the cellular circles, the grids are changed accordingly.

Play with the skeleton

The overall skeleton consists of two groups of tangent circles which represents the stadium's basic plan geometry principle. However, possibility is remained to change the skeleton by stretching the circles or simply moving around.

Knitting

The key process is to knit the net or grid and apply cellular circles with the grids to have a control over the plan. Either changing the skeleton or cellular circles' dimension can both achieve the goal of providing multiple control levels of the whole plan.
