Design Overview

The facade design creates a filtering path that allows a generous amount of audiences to enter in pace. The supporting structures are exposed to emphasize the lightness and intricacy of the design. The Pringles-shaped roof offers diverse curvature and flow throughout. The covering of the stadium can be rolled up and is controlled by detecting the sun movement. It would adjust the location of the circular opening accordingly. The triangular trusses under the roofing are designed carefully by taking both atheistic and structural support into consideration.
