Abstract

With the evolving functional attributes of sports venues in China and the promotion of national fitness strategies, sports venues are increasingly transitioning into comprehensive entertainment and leisure facilities. However, due to spatial constraints and other factors, many of these facilities suffer from suboptimal operational effectiveness and limited spatial vitality. This study employs literature review, case data collection, comparative analysis, and inductive analysis to propose a design strategy for the integration of sports venues and commercial spaces, emphasizing the "optimized horizontal space utilization, vertical compound utilization, and scene content creation". Through specific case discussion, the study emphasizes the need for these three strategies to work in synergy and highlights the importance of continuous optimization across the entire building lifecycle—from decision-making, strategic planning stages to design, construction, operation, maintenance, and feedback optimization. These findings provide a valuable reference for the organic integration of sports venues and commercial spaces in China and beyond, fostering new vitality in sports venues and promoting healthier urban environments.
