Eco Factor: Sustainable soccer stadium designed for China.
Recently Cox Architects came up with a proposal to green the sports world with a sustainable Rectangular Stadium designed for Melbourne, and now we have NBBJ coming up with a proposal to redesign the Dalian Shide Football Stadium in China.
The new stadium, dubbed the Garden Stadium, is designed to emulate a garden with green walls, which filter air, reduce greenhouse gases and also provide an adequate level of insulation. The new stadium will offer spectacular views across the ocean and out to the mountains and the center city.
The roof of the stadium is a flexible system of cables and fabric, which reduces its overall environmental impact. The walls are clad with living plants that change their appearance depending on the seasons. On the inside the walls feature giant LED panels, which are powered by wind turbines and solar cells installed on the walls, roof and the site.
