Shen Chen has been shortlisted for the Archiprix International prize for best graduation project worldwide. The design integrates living bamboo into the façade of the stadium and Chen proposes that the plants could also be used in landscaping.Ĭhen is still researching some factors of the design such as the load bearing capabilities of bamboo and building the structure to scale. Like other jerseys from our Stadium collection, the Paris Saint-Germain Jersey pairs replica design details with sweat-wicking fabric to give you a. The design features two semicircle grandstands and a cantilevered roof to shield the field, as well as facilities. “In addition to the sustainable value of building with bamboo, the integration of living bamboo into building design may blur the boundary between nature and architecture,” says Chen. De Bretten lacks adequate recreational facilities and bamboo could help lessen the impact on local urban development. It is projected that the first iteration of the multifunctional temporary stadium will be built in De Bretten, a green zone in Geuzenveld, Amsterdam. The young architect proposes that the temporary stadium is built in three components: the roof, grandstand, and facilities– so that the structure can b disassembled, transported and reused for different functions. Bamboo is an ecologically sound building material because it is as strong as mild steel and one of the fastest growing plants.Ĭhen's research borrows heavily from the building typologies of the East such as the grandstand designed by Japanese design studio Atelier Bow Bow and the 30 meter wide Great Hall in Indonesia.Ĭhen believes that even in the West, where bamboo is not a native plant, it can contribute to the development of more sustainable construction methods. We were also instrumental in negotiations between the City and National Treasury to obtain additional funds for the project.Shen Chen, a graduate of TU Delft has designed a temporary stadium and the primary building material is bamboo, a material she calls god’s gift to building. We also managed cost reporting and client liaison, as well as the communication between the QSJV, the Contractor and other Consultants. We managed the procurement, cost management and all quantity surveying services for the structural, mechanical and electrical packages. Our expert team was lead quantity surveyor for the Cape Town Stadium QS Association, and our global Sports Group was responsible for the budget.

The environmentally and technologically advanced design also incorporates a translucent façade which not only absorbs light to create depth and animation but also reduces noise and water and energy efficiency including roof and pitch drainage pumping to reduce the dependency on potable water and recycling and reuse of 95% of Green Point Stadium. Its resulting shape – resembling the traditional hats worn by Venda women, one of the many cultures in South Africa – is a unique undulating silhouette integrating into to the landscape at the foot of Signal Hill. KFD Wilkinson was part of a joint venture that undertook the structural design of the 68 000-seater Cape Town Stadium to be used in the 2010 FIFA Soccer. Its hanging roof structure with no supports inside the bowl, incorporates one of the most complex concrete and roof stadium designs yet undertaken with supporting columns, raked at a 17 degree angle on the outside berm of the stadium. The most challenging of all the stadia developed for the FIFA World Cup South Africa™, the design of Cape Town Stadium was influenced by its location, environment and legacy operation.Ī 68,000 capacity stadium during the World Cup and scaled down to 58,000 seats after 2010, the stadium falls within an earthquake zone and an area of historical significance – Green Point Common – with the original Green Point stadium partly demolished to make way for the new stadium. This 68,000 capacity Cape Town Stadium was designed and built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
