It is the most simple pursuit of the Hangzhou Asian Games, with trendy reviews | simple yet not simple
On Fengbei Road in Hangzhou, there are several prominent red and white buildings that serve as restaurants in the athlete village of the Hangzhou Asian Games. These buildings were originally built as a primary school, but due to the many similarities between the athlete village restaurant and the public area of the campus, they were transformed by ingenious builders into a restaurant that can accommodate large crowds and is very convenient for dining. After the competition, according to the "reversible construction" renovation plan, only some facilities need to be dismantled to restore the primary school. This is really a wonderful design.
The requirements for hosting the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou are "simplicity, safety, and excitement", placing "simplicity" first. Looking back at major domestic and international competitions in recent years, running competitions frugally has become a trend, a consensus, and an action. As one of the organizing principles of the Hangzhou Asian Games, "frugality" has been put into practice, which is reflected in reality by the principles of "being able to renovate but not build, being able to repair but not exchange, being able to rent but not buy, and being able to borrow but not rent". The frugal hosting of the Asian Games did not weaken its charm, but instead made it shine with a different kind of brilliance.
We have seen that the venue construction of the Hangzhou Asian Games has delivered excellent results. The vast majority of venues are renovated and renovated, and as long as they meet the requirements of the competition, they can be renovated but not built. For example, at the venue of Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology, the operation team installed LED screens that had been in service for 6 years and continued to use them in the swimming and fitness center. The replaced cables, floors, and other parts of the venue were used as maintenance parts for the school. From the current operation, there have been no defects in the display effect due to renovation and renovation, and on the contrary, it is more reliable and stable.
"Borrowing but not renting, renting but not buying" has become a common principle for the use of equipment in the venues and events of the Hangzhou Asian Games. The cycling track for the Asian Games venue is rented, with world-class performance and a cost savings of about 9 million yuan. In many venues, spectator seats, sports intelligent lighting, flag raising control systems, standard clock systems, on-site image acquisition and playback systems, etc. are not "permanent installations" and are all leased and returned after the competition for recycling. Some venues have replaced bottled water with portable water bottles, and staff can retrieve water as needed.
Of course, the province must be provincial, and the areas that need to be invested must also be willing to invest. As a grand event in the Asian sports industry, a certain sense of ceremony is necessary. Ensuring good food and accommodation for guests from all directions, ensuring their convenience in participating, and feeling the enthusiasm of the host country is also the way we should treat guests. Simplicity does not mean sacrificing excellence or lowering service levels, but rather spending less money, doing more things, and doing good things, using funds where they are most needed. This effect has already been reflected in the venue acceptance and warm-up matches.
Simplicity, making the Hangzhou Asian Games exciting and showcasing China's style, is a unique interpretation of the "China New Era Hangzhou New Asian Games": emphasizing the recycling of resources and energy conservation and environmental protection, and achieving sustainable development of the event. At the same time, it also interprets the cultural spirit of China. In the ancient cultural values inherited in China, "frugality" is a rational attitude towards material wealth and material desires, and the extravagant ceremony is "exceeding etiquette". Frugality, as a "virtue of treating things", is not a helpless choice due to material scarcity, but an active frugality driven by "moral rationality". "Cherishing things to cultivate virtue" is the Chinese culture that has been passed down to this day, and it is also in line with the green and low-carbon living philosophy of today's era.
Organizing the Asian Games in a minimalist way is a form of confidence and confidence. Simple yet not simple, frugality can also be exciting.
