As part of the medium and long-term plans for the urban design of Budapest Southern City Gate Development, NAPUR Architect Ltd. have designed the Budapest Athletic Stadium and its complementary project elements – jointly called the Budapest Athletic Center – commissioned on behalf of KKBK.
The design consists of three main areas to be regenerated. The first is the 15-hectare Athletic Stadium and park; the second is the 5-hectare Athletic Training Center; and the third area consists of the Hajóállomás street and its surroundings, which is a key area in terms of the project’s integration to the urban structure.

The “Quzhou Sports Campus” designed by MAD Architects, led by Ma Yansong, has just broken ground in the historic city of Quzhou, in China’s eastern coastal province of Zhejiang. Spanning almost 700,000 square meters, the first and second phase have a total construction area of approximately 340,000 square meters, and include a stadium (30,000 seats), gymnasium (10,000 seats), natatorium (2,000 seats), national sports complex, outdoor sports venue, science & technology museum, hotel accommodations, youth centre and retail programs. MAD’s design embeds the functions of the sports park within natural forms, creating an earth-art landscape in the center of the city – a poetic landscape that falls somewhere between that of Earth and Mars. “We dream not only of creating an urban space about sports and ecology, but also turning it into a unique land art park for the world, establishing a relationship between the city’s heritage and history of Shanshui culture,” says Ma Yansong.
The new East Austin District is an entirely new sports and entertainment neighborhood tailored to celebrate world-class sports and cultural experiences under one checkered roofscape. Located at the site of Rodeo Austin, the 1.3 million sf East Austin District is a world of worlds for sports fans, music festival-goers and adventurists, capturing the distinct spirit of Austin with the city’s first pro-sports stadium and large-scale music arena. Inspired by local vernaculars including the Jefferson Grid, the individual buildings in East Austin District are arranged as a checkerboard of different functions, appearing as a latticed roofscape from above. Offering more than protection, the rooftop covered in red photovoltaic panels could someday allow the self-sufficient district to share its energy resources community-wide—powering East Austin’s electricity and economy.
The new Atlético de Madrid Stadium, Wanda Metropolitano, is the result of the expansion of the old Athletics Stadium of the Community of Madrid, completed in 1994. The project consisted of building a football stadium capable of obtaining the highest qualification that allowed to host European competition finals, and an approximate capacity of 70,000 spectators.

The total construction area of the whole project is only 27180m2, but the function is numerous and the ground level of the site is highly variable. For this, we put forward the design principle of “minimum the effect to the environment”. Through the site analysis, we divided buildings into many small parts combined with functional partition, and arranged the buildings along the harbour and mountain, and ensure the buildings all can have a good view of the landscape and good ventilated condition and good day lighting. At the same time, the water design of water tank and the floating pier are used to minimize the impact of the natural environment in the basin. Artificial architectural forms integrate into the site environment in a natural way, forming a rhythmic building ecological community.

In 2014 major floods hit eastern Croatia causing, among casualties, catastrophic damage to infrastructure, including football one.
Croatian Football Federation together with World (FIFA) and European (UEFA) Football Federation gathered funds for reconstruction of 5 football fields together with a new stadium which, today, represents a crown of the entire reconstruction.
Particular attention in this valuable project was devoted to the construction of a new stadium in Gunja as the center of gathering and interaction of the local community and the development of new generations of athletes.

The new handball arena is situated on a freeway intersection in the south-west of Aix-en- Provence. The façade is made up of metallic ellipses stacked like layered contours. At first sight, the arena has no front or back- since every side of the façade is treated equally. Only the differently arranged ellipses indicate the front of the arena. The large form embraces an events hall for 6 000 to 8 500 spectators plus a smaller training hall. The arena reacts to the site through geometrical modifications: the ellipses, hovering above another, arranged with a much stronger shift towards the forecourt than to the other sides, thus forming a large canopy to welcome the visitors of the arena. The undersides of the protruding ellipses are illuminated to manifest the building as a whole. In the evening the lights on the undersides additionally help to move the focus of the arena towards the forecourt.
Texture of the Earth_ The plan began with concern about how to represent something of the texture of nature, which has a different character from the scale of the indoor stadium. We wanted the soft red-brown colour of the Youngsangang riverbank to continue throughout the mass.
Large stadiums and music venues are often placed in the outskirts of cities, but not in Copenhagen. Royal Arena, a 35.000 square metre venue, has just opened in the middle of a residential area, and is designed by 3XN Architects together with HKS to be a good neighbour.
