Stadium Complex

A 45,000-seat multi-purpose stadium with a retractable tensile roof. The cable-net structure spans 280 meters, creating an unobstructed view for every spectator while protecting from weather.

Design Concept

The stadium's iconic roof was designed using form-finding techniques that minimize material usage while maximizing structural performance. The hyperbolic paraboloid geometry creates natural drainage patterns and resists wind uplift.

A ring of steel cables supports the PTFE membrane panels, which can be partially retracted to allow natural ventilation during cooler months. The entire roof weighs 60% less than a conventional truss system.

Technical Highlights

  • 45,000 spectator capacity
