The gmp crystallized stadium, is a stadium in China which has inspired my design. I like the geometric shape of the stadium; this adds texture to the building and links to my theme of movement and flow. I also like that the building has meaning behind it the geometric shape is inspired by crystals hens the name” gmp crystzllized stadium”, the Greek work for crystals translates in Chinese to “water of pure white”.

I also like the lights incorporated into the stadium. Many international sport events were held in China, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Gam and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Olympic Game. Most of the stadiums for these events adapted colour change in their lighting system. This is good as the colour of the lights can adapt to the theme. The stadium is well illuminated which is important, as it catches the eyes of its clients. With the help of LED dimming techniques, controlling each triangular glass façade modules as a single element to vary luminance levels and creates patterns, in order to present the interactive relationship between the crystal architecture, the light, and the shadows.
