The new Wuyuanhe Stadium is situated at the southern island of Hainan, China. The building provides seats for more than 41,000 visitors and was developed on an extremely fast project schedule with a construction time of 15 month only. The iconic building was designed to blend into the surrounding architectural, cultural and costal landscape of Hainan. The architectural lighting provides a key role of the building’s success, enhancing visually the flowy and dynamic as well as the solid structures. Light contributes to subconscious wayfinding tasks for spectators and allows communication with the city via a low-resolution media component.

The new Olympic Sports Centre in Suzhou comprises three stadiums and a commercial tower on a 421,040 m² plot size. The landmark-like buildings are connected by a rich landscape. Light is a key element to the success of the iconic appearance of the complex.
The architecture is carefully lit, allowing the stadiums to visually standout on top of the terraced landscape podiums. Light engages with the architectural design of the unifying roof shapes and smooth lamella facades. It underlines the dynamic of the stadiums while the connecting landscape forms the visually dimmed and more varying foundation of the composition.
