NBBJ: dalian stadium

NBBJ: dalian stadium


image credit: li fang

NBBJ has finalized their proposal for the new dalian shide football stadium in dalian, china. the structure
is designed with principles of organic architecture in mind, modeling itself after a garden by having only
what is needed to thrive. the design imagines if the ground were folded open to create two garden walls
to contain the venue. this concept creates a strong visual impact and leaves both ends open to overlook
the ocean and mountains nearby. the exterior of the walls are clad with living plants that naturally change
colour throughout the year, while the inside features giant LED panels. a roof made from a flexible cable
system covers the stadium and is interwoven with fabric to shield the fans from the elements. the design
is an attempt to improve the in-stadium experience, rather than focus on the exterior form like many other
modern stadiums. the stadium will have 40,000 seats and intends to set a new standard for sustainable
stadium architecture.
