Our project interprets a football stadium for 42 000 spectators as a LANDSCAPED HILL toped with a snow-white bowl of the upper tier. Football pitch (105х68m) is there at the core of the hill containing a three-tier amphitheatre with a seating capacity for 33 000 spectators.

The pitch is encircled by subordinate spaces for the use of sportsmen, coaches and referees, as well as by various facilities, administration and public areas, i.e. car parks, cafeterias, exhibition areas, shops, WCs etc. From the outer contour of the building the spaces form a stepped composition by means of landscaping stair-terraces tending to a cone-like shape of a gently sloping hill.

Landscaped descents of the hill contain 30 stairs with accesses to the seating tiers of each sector. In addition to that, a web of vertical communications includes lifts and escalators off the main entrance where the hill enclosure magnificently opens up for the public.

The upper tiers for 9 000 spectators provide for the overall seating capacity essential for hosting World and European championships and other top football events. The pylons carry the upper tier bowl up to 3 meters over the hill contributing to a spectacular visual effect of the bowl soaring in the air.

Stadium roof is a translucent structure made of structural steel covered with water-proof fabric material.
