De yndielings fan it Ael Fc Arena Fuotbalstadion is basearre op fjouwer ortogonale lagen sittplakken, wêrfan ien in útwreiding is fan it geboufolume dat in oantal ynterieurromten omfiemet dy't geskikt organisearre binne om op dit spesifike gebrûk te reagearjen. It daksysteem fan it stadion makket in set fan kantige oerflakken, wylst it wiidweidige gebrûk fan glês en metaal in loftlike argitektuer sjen lit dy't as ferljochte objekt funksjonearret tidens de nacht. Hjir meitsje de ûnfoarsizbare brekingen fan natuerlik en keunstlik ljocht op 'e kristalline foarmen in gloeijend dekor dat jo útnoeget om nei te sjen.

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
- Tags
- architecture, football, stadium, tiers, Larissa, potiropoulos, building
- 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.
