National Stadium Development in Warsaw - Euro 2012 Football Venue

11 Jun 2012 Warsaw National Stadium EURO 2012 National Stadium Design: architects consortium gmp International GmbH, JSK Architekci Sp. z o.o., Schlaich Bergermann und Partner World Stadium Award 2012 Warsaw’s National Stadium selected for prize New information + photos photograph : Marcus Bredt During the “World Stadium Congress 2012” in Doha, Quatar, entries were selected for the “World Stadium Congress Awards”. Warsaw’s National Stadium prevailed against international competition and won the prize in two of five categories: - best multifunctional stadium design - most innovative use of technology in stadium design On the occasion of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, the National Stadium in Warsaw, which was designed by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners, was reconstructed on top of the existing - but since 1988 no longer used and dilapidated – earth wall stadium (Stadion Dziesieciolecia), and re-opened in January of this year. photographs : Marcus Bredt The stadium’s construction consists of two succinct parts – the grandstand built of pre-fabricated concrete components and the steel wire net roof with a textile membrane suspended from freestanding steel supports with inclined tie rods above this. The interior roof consists of a retractable membrane sail which folds together above the centre of the pitch. This is also where the four-screen “video cube” is installed so as to provide an optimum view from all seats. The top tier is accessed via 12 arch-shaped, single-flight staircases. The exterior façade consists of anodized expanded metal that provides another envelope for the actual thermal shell of the interior areas and access steps. The panels with their red and bright silver colour scheme appear either closed or transparent, depending on the light angle, and from a distance evoke the image of an artistic composition in white and red, the country’s national colours. photographs : Marcus Bredt The stadium has been designed as a multifunctional events centre and, with its approx. 20,000 sqm of lettable office and conference facilities, comprises a comparatively high proportion of floor space which can be used independently of the stadium operation. These spaces are available for all types of events and include the necessary support facilities.   photographs : Marcus Bredt The opening match of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship took place at the Polish National Stadium in Warsaw. 4 Jun 2012 Poland National Stadium Warsaw Location: Warsaw, Poland UEFA EURO 2012 National Stadium officially opened Design: architects consortium gmp International GmbH, JSK Architekci Sp. z o.o., Schlaich Bergermann und Partner National Stadium, Warsaw, Poland In 2012, Poland and Ukraine will be hosting the UEFA European Football Championship. National Stadium, Warsaw, Poland - Bird‘s eye view: photograph : Krystian Trela For the occasion, a new national stadium was built in Warsaw on the existing but crumbling rubble-built Dziesieciolecia Stadium abandoned for sports uses in 1988. The stadium is in Skaryszewski Park east of the city center on the bank of the Vistula, and will form the heart of a new sports park. The construction of the stadium is divided systematically into two. The stand consists of prefabricated concrete parts. Above this is a steel wire net roof with a textile membrane hung on freestanding steel supports with inclined tie rods. The interior roof consists of a mobile membrane sail that folds together above the pitch. The video cube with four screens giving optimal sightlines from all seats is also in the middle of the pitch. The top tier is accessed via twelve archshaped, single-flight staircases. The exterior façade consists of anodized expanded metal that provides another transparent envelope for the actual thermal shell of the interior areas and access steps. The stadium with its exterior façade in the national colors of Poland will stand out in the park as a landmark visible from afar. photographs : Marcus Bredt Poland National Stadium Warsaw - Building Information Competition: 2007, 1st Prize Design: Volkwin Marg and Hubert Nienhoff with Markus Pfisterer Project leaders: Markus Pfisterer, Martin Hakiel Co-operation with: J.S.K Architekci Sp. z o.o.

The “Red Stadium” was built on the grounds of Alekseevsky Park in Kiev in 1923 for the second All-Ukrainian Olympic Games. Over the decades, it was to be rebuilt and renamed several times. This Ukraine sports venue, which is now called the Olimpijski National Sports Complex, has since been completely renovated for the Euro 2012.
