Features: This book not only describes the design of Olympic venues but also introduces lesser-known design issues related to the Paralympic Games, as well as some venues from the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2004 Athens Olympics. It elaborates in detail on various aspects of modern sports architecture design from several perspectives, including structural, mechanical and electrical, acoustical design, and strategic decision-making. It is believed that the publication of this book will greatly benefit readers, and at the same time, we hope it will contribute a small part to Chinese architects in their journey to the world. The book strives for concise writing and focuses on case analysis. It is divided into four parts—Architectural, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical, and Comprehensive—with a total of 13 chapters, providing readers with references for design practice.
