Besonderheiten:
The National Stadium in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was designed and built as the main venue for the 2009 World Games. As well as being the highest capacity stadium in Taiwan, it’s also the world’s largest solar-powered stadium. The stadium was designed by the acclaimed Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Visually, the stadium looks like a curled dragon or snake resting on the landscape, with a large gap between its head and tail that serves as the entrance to the arena. And those scales are not scales at all: They are solar panels. The roof of the stadium is covered with 8,844 solar panels, making it the first stadium in the world that runs completely on its own energy. It’s also the largest photovoltaic system in Taiwan, capable of supplying 1.14GWh of electricity annually.
Other innovative features of the National Stadium—which was built using 100 percent recyclable raw materials—include attention to feng shui coupled with computer simulations. With help from the Central Weather Bureau, the stadium was designed with the summer wind direction in mind, allowing air to circulate freely to maximize natural cooling. The roof of the stadium was also carefully orientated to protect spectators from the fierce summer sun of Kaohsiung. It can also collect rainwater for use inside the stadium, with a system of pipes carrying water to underground tanks.
