水上运动宫是在大运会公园内规划的，包括在喀山市正在建造的体育建筑综合体中，作为2013年举办夏季大运会的筹备工作的一部分。除了复杂的体育角色外，它还具有社会价值。大运会结束后，塔塔尔国家体育旅游学院的学生和其他城市居民将在这里进行运动和休闲游泳。

The Palace of Water Sports is planned in the territory of Universiade Park and included in the complex of sport constructions being built in Kazan city as part of the preparation for holding the Summer Universiade in 2013. Apart from the role the complex plays for sports, it also has social value. After the end of the Universiade, the students of Tatar State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism, as well as other residents of the city, will play sports and enjoy recreational swimming here.

这座宫殿建筑(长187.5米，宽84米)沿着卡桑卡河的堤岸延伸，包括一个有水池和看台的大厅，上面覆盖着一个充满活力的屋顶，其轮廓让人想起波浪的运动(最高25米高)。计划设立3个游泳池：一个通用游泳池(52x25米，深2.2米)；一个潜水池(33.3x25米，深度5.5米)；另一个标准游泳池(52x25米)，由玻璃隔板隔开，设计用于训练和健身中心游客。固定看台，包括贵宾区，可容纳约3，000人，另有近1，000个座位可由特殊折叠式看台增加。水上运动宫的主要功能街区位于与泳池线平行的地方。大楼五楼被所有举行各级比赛和喀山居民日常使用所必需的主要空间和服务空间所占用。这座宫殿的最高容纳量将是3 540个座位，其中近2 000个是固定座位，包括评论员舱和贵宾区的座位，另外1 500个座位可以安装在可折叠的特殊看台上。

The Palace building (length 187.5 meters, width 84 meters) stretches along the embankment of the Kazanka river and include a hall with pools and stands, covered by a dynamic roof the outlines of which are reminiscent of the movement of a wave (maximum height 25 meters). 3 swimming pools are planned: an all-purpose pool (52x25 meters, depth 2.2 meters); a diving pool (33.3x25 meters, depth 5.5 meters), and another standard pool (52x25 meters) separated from the other two by a glass partition and designed for training as well as for fitness center visitors. The fixed stands, including the VIP area, can seat approximately 3,000 people and nearly another 1,000 seats can be added by special collapsible stands. The main functional block of the Palace of Water Sports is located parallel to the line of the pools. The fifth floor of the building is occupied by all the main and serving spaces that are necessary for conduct of the contests of all the levels and for everyday use by Kazan residents as well. The maximum capacity of the Palace will be 3,540 seats, almost 2,000 of which are stationary seats including commentator’s cabins and seats in VIP area, and 1,500 additional seats may be installed in the special collapsible stands.

这座建筑的主要特点是其独特的覆盖层，这是一种由局里演讲专家共同开发的建设性解决方案。

The main distinguishing feature of the building is its unique covering, a constructive solution developed jointly by the specialists of bureau SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov, Ove Arup and Central Research, Design and Construction Laboratory of Wooden Constructions (CRDC LWC). Three hinges of laminated wood arcs from pair curved crossbars are used as bearing elements here, forming a structure resembling lancet arches traditional in Tartar architecture. There is a good reason for the choice of laminated wood structures for the cover of the swimming pool. This is one of the most environmentally friendly construction materials, not only because it is a sustainable resource and easy to recycle the structures in the future, but also because of the great performance characteristics which wood demonstrates in high humidity conditions. Moreover, laminated wood structures do not require additional finishing and give the interior a distinctive look and warmth, which is quite important in the harsh climate.

在水上运动宫的正面积极使用半透明的建筑。立面上的木框之间的缝隙，俯瞰河流，建筑物的臀部和主门面上的5层垂直开口都充满了彩色玻璃窗。除玻璃外，通过研磨加工的不锈钢面板也被用于外墙。这种相互交错的光泽和光泽条纹的几何设计让人想起水面上波浪的涟漪。

Translucent constructions are actively used in the facades of the Palace of Water Sports. Apertures between wooden frames on the façade, looking onto the river, the butts of the building and 5-storey vertical openings in the main façade are filled with stained-glass windows. In addition to glass, stainless steel panels, processed by grinding, were used in the façades. This geometric design of alternating matte and glossy stripes is reminiscent of ripples of waves on the surface of water.

由于玻璃和墙面及桥接的盲部分的精心平衡，这些项目的作者设法在建筑中实现了高能效，从而使电力消耗降到最低。对于一个以牺牲城市预算为代价维持的结构来说，这是非常重要的。建造水上运动宫所用的材料和结构大多是由来自俄罗斯中部的公司生产的，并使用了俄罗斯的资源。这连同按照项目所有者的个别要求进行优化的项目和设计解决方案，使作者能够在不影响设施的建筑和技术质量的情况下，在严格的预算限制下工作。

Thanks to the carefully balanced combination of glazing and blind parts of the walling and bridging, the authors of the projects managed to achieve high level of energy efficiency in the building, which makes it possible to minimize power consumption. It is very important for a structure that is maintained at the expense of the city budget. Most materials and structures used in the construction of the Palace of Water Sports were produced by companies from central Russia, and with the use of Russian resources. This, along with project and design solutions optimized in compliance with the individual requirements of the Owner of the project, enabled the authors to work to the tight budget constraints without compromising on the architectural and technical quality of the facilities.
