Arena Zagreb

Filed under: Architecture, Croatia, Stadiums

Check this new sports arena located in Zagreb, Crotia.  I like this new wave of stadium designs and how creative they have become. Stadiums have always had their own personalities that people can relate to, and the personalities of the new stadiums being built is in step with that of the modern world.

I’m not really sure what types of events will be taking place inside an indoor arena in Zagreb. From one of the pictures, it looks like they could play some indoor soccer. Maybe some handball or volleyball? I can’t really call it…but either way, very cool looking stadium.

The First Underground Stadium

Filed under: Architecture, Cool Ish, Stadiums

If you were going to build a stadium in the desert how would you do it? If you are MZ & Partners Architects and you are building a stadium in Qatar then you build it underground and you make it the world’s first open-air, air-conditioned stadium. Besides being underground, The Wall, aka The Laptop, will have no traditional floodlights. Instead, the architects have decided to embed the lighting in the architecture which is pretty clever in my opinion. With an expected completion date in 2010, this is definitely a stadium to keep an eye on. More images after the jump.
