The 1st prize in this competition was awarded to SCHULITZ Architekten, located in Germany, in collaboration with TETRA Arquitetura from São Paulo / Brazil.  Image Courtesy © Erik Salles Ag. BAPRESS In keeping with the tradition of Brazilian stadiums, the arena’s footprint has the shape of a horseshoe with a large opening in the southern part of the stands. The opening not only provides optimal air flow into the stadium bowl and simutaneously establishes a direct relation to the adjacent inner city lake, but also permits the use of the stadium for multifunctional activities: Concerts, theater presentations and various other events can take place in the covered space within the opening without conflicting with the pitch during the football season. A bridge-like restaurant floats above the opening giving visitors a unique experience with views over the pitch and the lake at the same time.
