with the development team now announced, swiss-studio herzog & de meuron's 'grand stade de bordeaux'
is ready to break ground. scheduled for completion in 2015, the 40,000-seat stadium is set to host a range
of cultural events while acting as home field to the FC girondins de bordeaux.



entrance


located in the city's green belt district, the design seeks to establish a constant connection with the surrounding
natural environment. hovering above the landscape, the symmetrical structure is defined by an ethereal screen
of repetitive slender pillars and an expansive concave roof.



lobby


a stepped pedestal cuts through the volume, entering from all sides to dictate the overall arrangement of the
interior spaces. providing access to the complex the interwoven steps allow for an open plan centered around
circulation and navigation.



playing field


the encompassing area will be designed by french landscape architect michel desvigne.

Stunning proposal! as one can expect from H&dM

It looks like this scheme will have problems with fire spread, means of escape and lack of ventilation at the junction of the roof and the upper tier of seating, as they seem to fuse together which could create a number of problems.

I wonder what materials they propose for the roof structure? It is clearly a preliminary scheme.

It would be great to keep the terraces of steps cascading into parkland but how does one control ticketed access?

Jiggling cleavage woman on her way (without her wedding ring) to man who makes her smile? “Nice” white children being happy? A brand new convertible? A stadium can do all that? Wow. I want one. Certainly will help my lifestyle.

IS IT BRAZILIAN?

This is NAZI architecture, more precisely, the design of Heinrich Tessenow for the "Strength through Joy" resort in Prora 1936. For more information read my little article about this here http://stephensonturner.com/article/herzog-de-meuron-reinvigorate-nazi-design-for-the-bordeaux-grand-stadium
