By capitalizing on the sun's position and ocean winds, the stadium's passive ventilation and daylighting systems minimize its carbon footprint, creating a truly sustainable and immersive experience.
As spectators approach, the stadium transforms into a dynamic canvas. A stateof-the-art LED system wraps around the façade, projecting vibrant videos and images onto the exterior. This immersive display creates an electrifying atmosphere, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience.
Lush greenery and aquatic views create a tranquil atmosphere, while its unique shape and façade optimize natural light, ventilation, and energy efficiency. A carefully choreographed circulation system ensures seamless movement. A symphony of innovation, nature, and sports.
