SAMARANCH MEMORIAL

Maybe nothing is more suitable to demonstrate a great spirit than an excellent building. They both aspire to be everlasting. People always commemorate something ephemeral with something solid, an infinity shaped building. The only one Samaranch Memorial is located in the west Tuanbo New District in Jinghai Tianjin. The two main buildings and three sunken courtyards of the Samaranch Memorial are the re-arrangement of the Olympic rings, carrying the value and content of culture. The Olympic Sculpture Park surrounding the museum is an integration of classical Chinese gardens and modern Western landscape. Through the coordination between the natural terrain and architecture features, a large and changeful experience space has been built up, providing a place to connect nature with heart.
