The Taipei Dome is a landmark sports and entertainment venue in the heart of Taipei's Xinyi District, designed in collaboration with global architecture firm Populous. As Taiwan's first fully integrated indoor stadium, the 40,000-seat multi-purpose arena is built to host international baseball games, concerts, and large-scale events, redefining the city's sports and entertainment infrastructure.
Design Concept
The Taipei Dome occupies a key urban corner at Zhongxiao East Road and Guangfu South Road. To soften its massive volume, an eight-story shopping mall was placed on the west, with a glass curtain wall extending south to create a corner plaza and eastward to visually reduce the Dome's scale. Retail spaces beneath the seating area activate the site during off-hours and support the eastward extension of the Zhongxiao commercial corridor. The Dome includes 40,000 fixed seats and is wrapped in titanium panels.
To meet the demand for 2,850 cars and 3,600scooters, the site provides five entrance and six exit ramps. A 200-meter shaded walkway along Zhongxiao East Road offers a rare, pedestrian-friendly experience in Taipei.
Special Design Elements
The roof uses a double-diagonal truss system supported by a saddle-shaped tension ring. Viewed from inside, the angled trusses form an elegant and expressive ceiling.
The main entrance opens to a large ground-level plaza and two equally sized semi-outdoor plazas on basement levels, allowing efficient crowd flow. Atriums, broad stairs, and elevators bring light and openness to the lower floors, creating a vibrant public space.
