Wukesong Ice Sports Center
Creating the Wukesong Ice Sports Center in Beijing meant more than providing a training ground for the 2022 winter Olympic athletes. The 1900-capacity stadium was built as a future legacy of winter sports for the people of China. Its multi-colored latticed façade is designed so that as sunlight filters through, it evokes the crystal patterns and cracks of ice and snow on the ground and an emotional connection to residents of Beijing. The architects chose Interpon’s powder coatings to provide the exact colors needed to create these ice flowers and to protect the building for future generations of Ice Hockey Olympians.
