運動是身體「機能」的極致展現,是「力」與「美」的藝術,而建築就如同身體一般,調和各種機能系統的複雜構造,讓各種功能得以順暢的運作。網球中心建築需滿足賽事的運行與各種人、車、物、訊息等等效率流通。

2017年台北市世界大學運動會之比賽主場館之一,共計露天主球場一座、露天副球場一座、戶外球場十面、室內球場四面。並設有服務大樓供貴賓、FISU代表休息空間、記者會、媒體工作空間與餐廳。總樓地板面積50960.47㎡(含停車空間、防空避難空間),球場規模除符合FISU國際大學生體育聯合會之賽事標準外,亦滿足ITF國際網球總會ATP WORLD TOUR 250 SERIES男子職業網球聯合會—世界巡迴賽250系列賽事、WAT INTERNATIONAL女子職業網球聯合會—國際賽、DAVIS CUP戴維斯盃之規格。於2017年五月底完工試營運,賽後OT委外作為以網球訓練與比賽為主之運動中心。

基地環境規畫

利用基地由北向南傾斜近十公尺之地形配置地下停車空間,避免大量土方開挖,並自然形成戶外球場觀眾席的觀賽空間關係。人工地盤隱藏大量服務設施,僅球場設施於配置地面,降低球場建築的尺度與其對環境的衝擊。於建築的東側與南側設置廣大的綠帶,大量喬木與覆層植栽構成球場與鄰近住宅區適度緩衝與隔離的綠色屏障。

規劃設計特色

「運動建築」與機能、結構美學

運動是身體「機能」的極致展現,是「力」與「美」的藝術,而建築就如同身體一般,調和各種機能系統的複雜構造,讓各種功能得以順暢的運作。網球中心建築需滿足賽事的運行與各種人、車、物、訊息等等效率流通。由四座樓、電梯間與設備、管道間的「服務核」構成的塔柱與頂層連結的鋼桁架形成一個巨型構架,懸吊室內球場與主球場的屋頂,創造通透的無落柱球場空間,「輕盈」的底層空間與上層表現「力量」的結構,形成了平衡與對比。

The Taipei Tennis Center was one of the main venues of the Taipei 2017 Universiade (World University Games). There are 12 outdoor courts, including a Center court and a smaller main court and 4 indoor courts. A service building provides spaces for VIPs and FISU representatives, press conference rooms, media workspace and restaurants. The total floor area is 50960.47㎡ (including parking and air-raid refugee areas). In addition to FISU (International University Sports Federation) standards, the venue also conforms to specifications for the ATP World Tour 250 Series for men, WAT International for women and the Davis Cup. The complex was completed with a soft opening at the end of May 2017. After the games, management of the venue was contracted to a private entity by the municipality under the "operate and transfer" agreement. It currently serves as a sports center used mainly for tennis training and games.

Site Planning

Underground parking was carefully located so as to minimize excavation by taking advantage of the site's original topography, which has a north to south slope of around 10 meters. As a result, a natural relationship between the audience seating and the outdoor courts was also created. With a view to minimize the scale of the complex and its environmental impact, most of the service facilities were concealed within the recessed infrastructure, with only the courts and ancillary facilities located at grade. Spacious greenbelts were placed on the east and south sides of the complex, where abundant trees and layered planting provided a green barrier that served as a buffer with the adjacent residential neighborhoods.

Planning and Design Features

The functional and structural aesthetics’ of Sports Facility

Sports is the ultimate manifestation of the function and the art of the human body embodying power and beauty. Like a good functioning body, good architecture coordinates complex structures to serve smoothly various functional systems. The architecture of the tennis center must accommodate the smooth operations of the games and the efficient flow of people, vehicles, objects, information, etc. The center comprises of four service core of elevators, equipment and service shafts. They are connected with steel trusses at the top to form a mega-structure. The indoor courts and the roofs of the center court are suspended from this structure to create a free-flowing, column free arena. The "weightlessness" of the lower spaces and the "power" of the top structures create a balance and contrast.
