This Space, That Place: Heterotopia Stadium Sports in the 21st century are expanding to include not only baseball or soccer but also e-sports. PC games once played only at home are no longer just for entertainment and have taken their place as a genuine sports event. Therefore e-sports stadiums are not much different from baseball or soccer stadiums. Think about the sports stadium from your childhood, the neighborhood landmark. Once you stepped foot into the stadium, there was a sense of grandiosity, excitement, nervousness, and magnificence you couldn’t experience anywhere else... It became our first goal to replicate those feelings by bringing that external structure and mass into an internal space. Therefore we chose aluminium panels as a finishing material, which is usually used on the exterior for being light and convenient for construction; then we implemented a RGB control LED system to express the differing nature of each game through a variety of colors. In addition, the design of the 7-meter mirror walls on both sides that serve as the boundary between the stadium and the ancillary rooms (VIP room, performer waiting room, press room, player waiting room, etc.) served as a solution to the spatial constraints of the interior and added to the finishing touches of the stadium. On the right side is a space where you can sell goods unique to each game. The combination of the front shelf system, rear graphic attachment, and bench emphasizes flexibility, and offers an efficient space to both the operator and spectators. Although now demolished, Dongdaemun Stadium, which was a sports mecca for about 78 years, was probably a heterotopia of the ‘old’ era. We hope V.SPACE will be absorbed into the ‘new’ era and resurrect as a 21st century sports mecca that recreates a new glory.
