About Ael Fc Arena Fodboldstadion

AEL FC Arena Fodboldstadions organisering er baseret på fire ortogonale tribuneniveauer, hvoraf det ene er en udvidelse af bygningsvolumen, der rummer en række indvendige rum organiseret passende til at imødekomme denne specifikke brug. Stadions tagsystem skaber et sæt takkede overflader, mens den omfattende brug af glas og metal fremviser en luftig arkitektur, der fungerer som et oplyst objekt om natten. Her skaber de uforudsigelige lysbrydninger af naturligt og kunstigt lys på de krystallinske former en strålende kulisse, som inviterer til observation.

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.
