Natatorium of Southeast University / SEU-ARCH Zhou Qi Studio

The Natatorium of Southeast University is located near the east gate of the Jiulonghu Campus, on the north side of the gymnasium. It is the first indoor swimming pool in the history of Southeast University. Considering that the campus is relatively empty and sports buildings are often huge in scale, the design uses continuous circular arches to break the body into pieces, to eliminate the sense of alienation of the volume. The arc of the building is like a flower, woven together in 7 repeating forms, which makes it look lively. In addition, the building does not have a so-called "top roof", its roof and wall as a whole.
