Asia-Pacific Baseball Park Wins Architecture Award for Innovative Drainage

The Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center's second phase and the Xuejia Multifunctional Animal Protection Education Park have both received the prestigious Architecture Garden Award this year. These accolades highlight the successful integration of innovative design and functionality in public architecture.

The baseball stadium, a key component of the training center, notably overcame significant challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic during its construction. Despite these hurdles, the project team successfully implemented an advanced drainage system.

This innovative "fishbone"-shaped network of underground permeable pipes is designed to efficiently manage water runoff. Its effectiveness was demonstrated by its ability to rapidly drain water following heavy rainfall, ensuring the baseball fields remain usable and minimizing disruptions to training and events.
