The winning proposal for the design of a stadium for Russia’s 2018 World Cup was created by the design institute “Mosproject-4″ from Russia and HKS Architects from the United States. The main characteristics of the stadium include an innovative constructive decision, increased comfort for both the audience and athletes, and sustainability strategies. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Based on use of the symbolism of color of a sunflower (a typical and traditional flower in Krasnodar region) and using some elements of development of the famous Russian engineer V. G. Shukhov (1853-1939), the offered constructive scheme unites the bearing system of the facade, which is underlined and articulated, and the stadium roof covering.
