The Design

About Ael Fc Arena Fußballstadion

Die Organisation des Ael FC Arena Fußballstadions basiert auf vier orthogonalen Tribünen, von denen eine eine Erweiterung des Gebäudevolumens darstellt, das eine Vielzahl von Innenräumen beherbergt, die entsprechend organisiert sind, um dieser spezifischen Nutzung gerecht zu werden. Das Dachsystem des Stadions schafft eine Reihe gezackter Flächen, während die extensive Verwendung von Glas und Metall eine luftige Architektur zur Schau stellt, die nachts als angestrahltes Objekt fungiert. Hier erzeugen die unvorhersehbaren Lichtbrechungen von natürlichem und künstlichem Licht auf den kristallinen Formen eine leuchtende Kulisse, die zur Betrachtung einlädt.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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
