   Gwangju Summer Universiade Main Stadium (Gwangju World Cup Stadium)

   광주하계유니버시아드 주경기장(광주월드컵경기장)

   Through the radial design of visitor entrances and ground paving patterns around the stadium and the colonnade arrangement of landscape facilities, it expresses the image of Gwangju, the "City of Light," by embodying intense light radiating from the circular arena. The large pillars supporting the stadium's roof and stands were designed in a Y-shape so that the overall appearance of the roof and pillars evokes the head of the "go" used in Gwangju's traditional folk game Gossaum-nori, while the east and west roofs facing each other symbolize the appearance of the "go" about to collide during the game.MoreLess
