Sport Athletic Stadium

Our proposal for the Chemnitz Stadium demonstrates a vision of a light, transparent roof structure over a contoured hill-marked landscape. In between sits the Tribunal as a sculptural object. Free swinging interstitial spaces allow for a clear view of the surroundings. One is at once inside and outside. It forms no building. We are transforming space and landscapes. Architecture and construction lose their rigidity and can be rearranged on a varied formal and functional level. In turn one becomes closer to life itself. The visitor to the stadium does not walk into an impersonal and distressing wall. Instead one crosses a surrounding grove-covered as it is by a transparent, mobile roof-simultaneously part of the sky and clouds. Nuestra propuesta para el estadio de Chemnitz es la visión de una estructura de techo ligera y transparente sobre un paisaje contorneado marcado por colinas. En el medio se encuentra las gradas como objeto escultórico. Los espacios intersticiales de libre movimiento permiten una visión clara del entorno. Uno está al mismo tiempo dentro y fuera. No forma ningún edificio. Tratamos de transformar el espacio y el paisaje. La arquitectura y la construcción pierden su rigidez y pueden reorganizarse en un nivel formal y funcional variado. A su vez uno se acerca más a la vida misma. El visitante del estadio no choca contra un muro impersonal y angustioso. En lugar de ello, se atraviesa una arboleda circundante, cubierta por un techo transparente y móvil, que al mismo tiempo forma parte del cielo y de las nubes. Various construction methods and materials are differentiated. Their individuality is celebrated by their position next to one another, so that the symbiosis of construction is melted. As such the stadium tower is an example and important signifier of this modeled landscape. The mobile roof and transparent (tensile) textile spans are held in place by an overhead steel construction system.
