designed by japanese architect toyo ito, the world games' main stadium was unveiled
yesterday at an opening ceremony.
the stadium consists of approximately 8 844 solar panels on a surface area of 14 155m2
intergrated into the roof construction. the form which emulates that of a flowing river,
depending on the sunshine, can cover 75 % of the energy needs. on days when no
competitions will take place, the electricity generated is fed into the grid. with more
than 40 000 seats it is surrounded by a vast new public park including palm trees
and tropical plants.
visitors arriving from downtown via public transportation walk down a broad boulevarde
before turning into the plaza. at the stadium's narrowest section ticket windows and restaurants
are housed. concourses and upper level seating are supported by a ring of concrete structures.
