About Ael Fc Arena Voetbalstadion

Die Ael Fc Arena Voetbalstadion se uitleg is gebaseer op vier ortogonale vlakke van sitplekke, waarvan een 'n uitbreiding is van die gebouevolume wat 'n aantal binneruimtes huisves wat gepas georganiseer is om aan hierdie spesifieke gebruik te voldoen. Die stadion se dakstelsel skep 'n reeks gekartelde oppervlaktes terwyl die uitgebreide gebruik van glas en metaal 'n lugtige argitektuur ten toon stel wat as 'n verligte voorwerp gedurende die nag funksioneer. Hier skep die onvoorspelbare brekings van natuurlike en kunsmatige lig op die kristallyne vorme 'n gloeiende toneel wat jou uitnooi om dit te aanskou.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties
The facility includes the new football stadium of Larissa F.C., the sports team hostel, a commercial-entertaining center, cultural functions and a tennis club. Starting point of the design was the development, around the central square, of successive activities that interact with each other while ensuring vital space for pedestrians. The overall organization is divided into sub regions, with identifiable characteristics, reducing the scale of the complex, while pedestrian path axes traverse the site releasing diagonal viewing.
Dimensions & Packaging
Building Area: 48.900 square meters

Production Technology
The stadium roof system creates a set of jagged surfaces while the extensive use of glass and metal shows off an airy architecture that functions as a floodlit object during the night. Here, the unpredictable refractions of natural and artificial light on the crystalline forms create a glowing drop-scene which invites you to observe it.
Design Challenge
The research challenge was the development, around the central square, of successive activities that interact with each other while ensuring vital space for pedestrians.
Research
Abstractly referring to a box of light that opens revealing its content, the roof of the stadium formats a landscape of deveins surfaces that compose a continuous front on the eastern boundary of the square.
Inspiration
Referring mentally to a box of light that opens revealing its content, the roof of the stadium formats a landscape of deveins surfaces that compose a continuous front on the eastern boundary of the square; the two volumes of the shopping center frame the other sides respectively. The extensive use of glass and metal shows off an airy architecture that functions as a floodlit object during the night; here, the unpredictable refractions of natural and artificial light on the crystalline forms create a glowing drop-scene which invites you to observe it.
Project Duration
Location: Neapoli, Larissa, Greece
Design: 2005-2009
