1. CONCEPT #1 XXL Design Workshop
STADIUM TOWER
SPECTACLE! PEOPLE….CHEERING!
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT ROTTERDAM?
Art, fashion, trade, commerce, nature, music, history, infrastructure,
harbour, maas, architecture, infrastructure, bridges, innovation, culture,
sports..
COULD ANY OF THEM BE REFLECTED IN ARCHITECTURE AS CONTINUITY…
STADIUM AS IT IS...WILL NO LONGER BE…
WHY FOLLOW CLASSICAL ORDERS?
WHY USUAL SITTING AREAS?
WHY STADIUM ALWAYS TREATED AS A BORDER..
ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE PEOPLE RELATED...ARCHITECTURE DIRECTLY
INFLUENCED BY DYNAMICS OF THE CITY
WHY STADIUM INTROVERTED...WHY NOT MORE STRONG AND FLUID AS
IN NATURE…
Concept 1
2. Architect Anurag Bhattacharya XXL Design Workshop
-Developing triangle as a whole, stadium part
of a much larger picture (integral development
approach)
-Train station connectivity- Go to the game and
never touch the ground
-Fit happily into City setting
-Integrating commercial tower programme to the
sport function
-Cartridge pitch concept: different pitches (like
tennis, flat) could be slided in when required,
else could be used as a practice pitch for varous
sports.
-multifunctional programs, to enable it to be alive
and operational by creating experiences other
than of sport, when the pitch and seating bowl is
not operational
-Flexibity in stadium elements
-low profile: creating balance between roof and
façade
-Dramatic, exciting, and iconic architecture SIte level Concept Building level Concept
enhances and amplifies everyone’s
experience.
-PIECE BY PIECE construction (Phase wise
development)
-The impact of the urban form on the adjacent
communities and respecting the quality of lives of
those living nearby
-Concealing the parking spaces beneath a
planted plaza deck stretching from the main
entrance of the stadium and other functions in
and around resulting in a long, rising, curved
plinth that imparts a sense of excitement for
spectators as they approach the stadium and
sports triangle...emerging over the horizon.

3. Envelope - for Concept 1: ICONIC Wilton Danqing LI XXL Design Workshop
- Eye-catching Form
Landmark buildings
sometimes have cer-
tain forms which keep
attracting people to
see them, to enter
them and to partic-
pate with activities
within them. No matter
the form is generated
by their volume, struc-
tures or skin. Incheon Asian Game Stadium, Stadium for International
Seoul, Korea Lunar Olympics
- Elegent Pattern
To give the facade a
shinning pattern is a
very common way to
make the building out-
standing. And the pat-
tern dosen’t have to
be complicated, sim-
ple and neat materials
can also providing a
goregous look. Bird’s Nest, 2014 Olympic Stadium, 2010 World Cup
Beijing, China Russia Stadium, South Africa
- Media Screen
With media screens,
the atmosphere of the
football games will
be extended to the
external area of the
stadium, which makes
the whole site to be a
fun park when there’re
matches. It can even
attract people passing
by or sitting in the train. 2012 Olympic Stadium, Allianz Arena
London, UK Germany

6. Climate Daniel Smidt XXL Design Workshop
Main goal: putting the tower
to good use climatewise
Options:
1) Solar power updraft tower
2) Concentrated solar power
3) Ventilation chimney (HRS)
4) Integrated wind turbines
Extra attention:
- Shape definition by urban
shading
- Green / Blue urban setting
- Green parking Salar updraft tower concept Concentrated solar power
- Public transport connection Generate energy with wind turbines driven by the air move- Mirrors on the roof reflecting the light into a liquid running a
- Reuse old building material ment. “steam engine” like generator.

energy[+1] STADIUM
Modern Netherlands wants to convey a strong image on
international stadiums , and wants something that looks distinctive
on the broadcast picture around the world,
A modern image as well as the image of Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Self Sufficient uses and energy usage + generation.
Reusability.

8. Architect Anurag Bhattacharya XXL Design Workshop
-performance driven design
-Use of unconventional
wooden structural
construction for stadium, will
become first of its kind.
-Stadium not just being a
energy consumer but a
generator of renewable
energy, low impact on
resources.
-Emphasis on construction
process to assist design
decision
-Inward looking form to be
avoided
-take cues from the TRANSPORT PATTERN Artist’s imagination
surroundings
-The impact of the urban form
on the adjacent communities
and respecting the quality of
lives of those living nearby
-Control of the morphology
-geometrical rationalization

9. Envelope - for Concept 2: Sustainable Wilton Danqing LI XXL Design Workshop
- Energy Generation
The world games sta-
dium is the largest so-
lar-powered stadium
in the world with it’s
14,155m2 roof. It could
potentially generate
1.14 gigawatt hours of
electricity every year,
enough to power up
to 80% of the sorround-
ing neighbourhood. World Games Stadium,
Kaohsiung, Taiwan
- Sustainable Materials
Bao’an Stadium,
Shenzhen, China
- Low-tech Approach
Make use of the wind
pressure, to organize
the natural ventilation,
and thus to reduce en-
ergy consumption.

Energy plus strategy
1) Reduce own energy / heat
consumption
2) Generate more energy
and heat than needed
3) Give energy and heat
back to the grid
4) At peak times get energy
and heat from the grid
Ways: Stadium wide solar power (Toyo Ito) - Electricity (and heat) Smart energy grid - Distributing energy wisely
- Insulation, smart shading and 8844 panels The stadion can be a generator giving energy to the grid
passive ventilation (HRS), natural 14155 m2 PV
lighting 114 GWh/year
335 Dutch homes powered
- Huge amount of PV
- Heat/Cold pumps connected
to the river
Extra:
- Energy generating / consump-
tion infographic feedback
- (As much) Organic building ma-
terials
- Collection of rainwater and us-
age for greywater systems
- (Piezo elements)
- Local materials like brick or re-
growable material like wood
Organic construction: Heat pumps: cooling / heating with river water District heating
