The Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw
The Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw is the highest fourth category football stadium currently being built for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. The stadium will have a seating capacity of 42,771 spectators.
The winning architectural concept developed by JSK Architekci is called STADIUM-LANTERN. The distinctive shape was chosen to be easily recognisable and associated with the dynamic city. The shape of the stadium is highlighted by the innovative design of its external walls. The building is covered by glass fibre mesh coated with teflon. The mesh is anchored by steel rings placed around the entire body of the stadium. The covering lend lightness and transparency to the massive structure. The colours of the external walls of the stadium can be changed using a sophisticated lighting system. Concession stands will be situated under the semi-transparent facade.
