About Ael Fc Arena Stadju tal-Futbol

L-organizzazzjoni tal-Istadju tal-Futbol Ael Fc Arena hija bbażata fuq erba' filieri ortogonali ta' siġġijiet, wieħed minnhom huwa estensjoni tal-volum tal-bini li jospita numru ta' spazji interni organizzati b'mod xieraq biex jirrispondu għal dan l-użu speċifiku. Is-sistema tas-saqaf tal-istadju toħloq sett ta' uċuħ imżerrqin filwaqt li l-użu estensiv ta' ħġieġ u metall juri arkitettura arja li taħdem bħala oġġett imdawwal intensament matul il-lejl. Hawn, ir-rifrazzjonijiet imprevedibbli tad-dawl naturali u artifiċjali fuq il-forom kristallini joħolqu xena li tiddi u li tistieden lill-osservatur josservaha.

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
Construction: 2009-2010
Operation Flow
