When built, this world-class motorsports track became the largest in the F1 World Championship series, featuring seating for 200,000 and an entertainment complex covering 5 square kilometers.
The architects took inspiration from Chinese history, arranging buildings like pavilions in a lake to resemble the ancient Yuyan-Garden in Shanghai.
The project features more than 150,000 square meters of impressive concrete and steel structures; an administrative building and race control tower; living and working facilities for teams; and a complete infrastructure for energy, maintenance, and emergency services.
Throughout, the details are inspired: 26 lotus-leaf "membrane structure" canopies stand among the circuit's most striking architectural elements. Covering an area of 750 square meters each, they shade the secondary stands and are a design hallmark.
