New Stadia Developments from around the world
Stadium Buildings
We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Stadium Buildings. We aim to include sports arena buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed buildings, new arena building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary stadium buildings but information on key traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 4 pages of Stadium Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

Korean Speed Skating Arena
Located on a 440,000㎡ site that was once used for garbage disposal, the site is now covered with abundance of pine trees. The main concept of the masterplan was to utilize nature, arena, and the plaza as ‘three layers’ to produce a layout that would communicate and harmonize with the surrounding environment. The masterplan would link the arena with the various sports facilities such as figure/short-track skating arena, ice-hockey arena, and a park that will be located north of the site.

Olympic Stadium Kiev Ukraine - 4 Jun 2012
The new design for the reconstruction of the building respects the historic fabric with its important filigree prestressed concrete upper tier built in 1968, the frame of the new roof structure being detached and placed clear of the existing bowl. This most distinctive feature is therefore being encased in a new filigree glass façade and will be duly illuminated with appropriate lighting.
