| Contemporary stadium building is large scale, as a landmark, which forms a profound impact on the image of the city. Contemporary stadium meets the public demand for sports activities and also represent the style and comprehensive strength of a city. The development of stadium building has gone through five generation. Its roof form has experienced a long process from scratch to the integration of high-grade high-precision advanced technology. The roof form is the most important component of the stadium, so the roof form bears the architect’s design concept and the first visual impression of the people. It is the core content in the overa ll form design of the stadium. In today’s world, a lot of stadiums are built, so the creative design of roof form become rather important. In our country, the construction speed of the stadium is faster, while research on the stadium roof form is lagging behind. The design and construction of the stadium need more specific theoretical support. Thus, the research for innovative design concepts of the stadium roof form and techniques to expand has important practical significance.This article is based on the good momentum of development of the stadium construction, takes the innovative design of the contemporary stadium roof form for the study, deeply analysis all kinds of domestic and foreign stadium roof form design. The first section mainly states the background, current situation, analysis of the concept and definition of the research scope. The second section summarizes the five elements of the stadium roof form design. To find the laws and common features through classifying the stadium roof form in multi-angle and analyzing respectively. The article focuses on the analysis of the relationship between the roof form and the use of space for audience below, which provides theoretical guidance for further research. And stress the three guiding principles of the stadium roof form creative design.The third and fourth section of the article are core chapters, which deeply research the innovation design of the stadium roof based on technology and aesthetic expression respectively. Technical innovations include construction technology, materials technology, digital assistive technology, lighting and LED technology, retractable roof technology innovation. Research on the innovative ideas and techniques of roof form which come from the technology innovation. Aesthetic expression of the stadium roof include three innovative expressions of natural beauty, cultural beauty and the rational beauty, and obtain corresponding innovative design concepts and design techniques respectively.Stadium roof design is the work of an ordered system. The roof form design influences the macro-function and the environment quality of the stadium. This paper aims to find clear innovative design concept from complex representations of the stadium roof. To provide valuable theoretical reference and guidance for the stadium roof form creation in the future. |
