About Ael Fc Arena Inkundla Yebhola
Ulwakhiwo lwenkundla yebhola i-Ael Fc Arena lusekelwe kumanqanaba amane ezihlalo athe nkqo, omnye wawo ongolwandiso lomthamo wesakhiwo olubandakanya izithuba ezininzi zangaphakathi ezilungiselelwe ngokufanelekileyo ukuze ziphendule kolu setyenziso lukhethekileyo. Inkqubo yophahla lenkundla idala uluhlu lweendawo ezinemigangatho emininzi ngelixa ukusetyenziswa okukhulu kweglasi nesinyithi kubonisa uyilo oluvulekileyo olusebenza njengento ekhanyiswe kakhulu ebusuku. Apha, ukugqwetheka okungalindelekanga kokukhanya kwendalo nokwenziweyo kwiifom ezikristale kudala umboniso okhanyayo okumemayo wokujongwa.

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.
