Sports architecture is a static image of what Olympic spirit represents.

This year, the Olympic stadiums in Brazil amazed the world, not only with their look. The venues, despite the controversies during the construction process, were able to pull off a supreme experience in the last minute.

更实用，更坚固，更美观

体育建筑是凝固的奥林匹克精神。

今年的奥运场馆不仅在外观上惊羡了世人，还在建筑过程中玩了一把心跳，把场馆体验的惊喜留到了最后时刻。

Urban Forest

Built predominantly of concrete, the Estadio Nacional fully inherits the architectural tradition of Brasilia by adopting a minimalist design. The simplicity of the design is further enhanced by near-circular components such as the circular concrete pillars around the stadium that support the whole structure.

A circular promenade surrounds the main structure and is connected to it by dozens of entrances/exits ramps. The suspended roof of the stadium is a double-shell, movable structure comprised of metal cables with an outer concrete compression ring. Various transparent coatings cover the upper side of the roof as opposed to the lower side which is covered by re flective membranes with a backlit film design.

The stadium also has a number of sustainable features such as the integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on the roof and a rainwater harvest and reuse system. Proudly overlooking the verdant Brasilia National Park, the stadium was built in support of Brazil's commitment to hosting the world's firs“t sustainable FIFA World Cup”.

都市森林

坐落于巴西利亚城市规划布局的中轴线上，巴西国家体育场是2014世界杯的第二大球场，可容纳7万观众，且在任何季节都可使用。该体育场采取极简结构，以混凝土为主要建筑材料，这一点完全符合巴西利亚的建筑文化传统。

围绕体育场周边布置了一圈环形空地，分布有各个入口设施。体育场顶端的屋顶采用双层悬索可移动式内置结构，由一圈形状为标准环形几何体的混凝土柱有力托起。其上层由多种透明覆盖材料组成，下层则采用背光膜的设计形式。

该场馆制定了多项生态措施，如屋顶玻璃上安装的一体化光伏组件，及雨水收集措施等，与巴西利亚郁郁葱葱的国家公园相照应，同时支持了巴西举办第一届“可持续的足球世界杯”的主张。

Treasures of the Rainforest

The stadium was the world's first sports building cert ified to U.S. Green Building Council's LEED standards. Refurbished from the stadium Estadio Vivaldao, Arena Amazonia is enclosed by a metal structure designed to resemble a straw basket.

Taking full advantage of the geographic features of the area, the stadium is built on an elevated ground. The roof wraps downward to connect with the façade and forms a continuous ring of shelter for seating and circulation spaces. The structure is composed of mutually supporting cantilevers, constructed with steel hollow-core girders, which also function as drains for water from plentiful tropical rains. Semi-translucent fiberglass fabrics in fill the diagonal skeleton, and allows for natural ventilation.

雨林瑰宝

因其节能高效的特点，亚马逊竞技场成为世界上第一座通过美国绿色建筑协会LEED标准认证的体育建筑。它的前身是Vivaldao球场，翻新后被金属结构包围，外形像一个草篮。

竞技场充分利用了天然地势，坐落于一座徐徐升起的基座上。体育场屋面向下延伸到外立面，形成连贯的环形，用于观众座椅区和流通区域的遮盖，有效解决了当地气候炎热的问题。建筑结构包含相互支撑悬臂，材料采用中空式大梁，同时具有排放热带地区大量雨水的功能。半透明的玻璃纤维织物填充了斜线框架，实现自然通风。

Moving Sand Dunes

Inspired by the coastal city of Natal's famous sand dune landscape, Estadio das Dunas's undulating façade is a simulation of the moving sand dunes in the region. Its streamlined exterior blends seamlessly with its 20 petal-shaped modules and is a tribute paid to the harmonious relationship between man and nature.

舞动沙丘

不负琵琶海滩的盛名，纳塔尔的沙丘体育场高低起伏的结构还原了当地沙丘蜿蜒的姿态。流动的外形和20片花瓣状的模块浑然一体，为人与自然达成了亲密的对话。

World Record

Having a capacity to pack crowds in of up to 200,000 people, Estadio do Maracana is the largest and most well-known stadium in Brazil. It will host Rio 2016's opening and closing ceremonies as well as football matches. Footprints of famed Brazilian footballers can be found at the entrances. Unlike other stadiums in the world, its stands are even lower than the pits around the pitch.

世界之最

马拉卡纳体育场是巴西最大、最负盛名的体育场。它将被用于主持今年奥运会的开幕式、闭幕式以及足球项目。这座球场曾是世界最大的体育场，改造前能容纳20万人，它的入口处还留有巴西著名球星的脚印。与世界其他球场的站台不同，马拉卡纳球场的站台位于草坪四周的深沟里，其高度比草皮还要低许多。
