The gymnasium of Tianjin University consists of a sports center and a natatorium, the public spaces of which are connected by a large-scale covered bridge over the road. Sports fields with various demands and sizes are arranged in a compact way and connected by a linear space, forming an undulating eave for the gymnasium. The roofs and exterior walls are built with reinforced concrete structures with ruled surfaces, barrel vaults or conical surfaces, forming a large-span space with clerestories. Together with the interior walls that expose the textures left by concrete casting, they have achieved the harmony of structures, spaces and forms.
