A bowl, a cabaret, an opera stage, a roll of yarn: examples of spaces that focus on the center.
The site of the stadium lies to the south of Munich in a relatively undefined place between moorland and city, next to a highway intersection and a garbage dump with a windmill.
Models of the access route to the stadium as a moorland pathway covering one of Europe’s biggest car parks, the stadium as a self-contained body, with lighting and air-cushion cladding.
Color study, montage and lighting for the air cushions.
An earlier proposal includes a zeppelinlike element to close the roof.
The stadium as a closed shell with integrated boxes and air-cushion fixtures.
The Allianz Arena forms a volume around the playing field, incorporating cascading stairways, a canti- levered roof and steel structures with air cushions; pathways wind along over the roof of the car park.
The stadium as a body of light, in three changing colors, hovering in the landscape.
The processional-like pathway over the car park roof, the corridors and stairways to the tiers, the car park entrances, and the VIP zone with its ceiling in creditcard gold.
