Underground Stadium cool head football fans

The world's first underground stadium and the world's first air-conditioned sports arena in the open air. How to combine these qualities? Ceremony. Especially if the construction of a number of won: not visible from outside the "bowl" or mast lighting, but there is something unknown that is already unofficially dubbed "Laptop".



The city of Doha, the capital of Qatar, wants to host the football World Cup 2018 (2018 World Cup), and even filed an application. Qatar will compete with several wanting.

And since one of the criteria for selecting the host country of the cup is a beautiful, modern and comfortable stadium - Doha Build it from scratch.

And if the original image quality was the main soccer stadium - arena in Qatar would be the first challenger to win. In fact, outside of this stadium will be almost invisible!

Only one stands above the green surface surrounding terrain is almost vertical wall. The rest of the stadium is located below ground level, a large part of the premises - and just under the ground.

The original project called "The Wall" (Wall), probably just because of its very visible element. Developed his company MZ & Partners, is located there - in Doha.

It should be noted that the company has already implemented several new projects (and there are some that are just under construction), and almost all - in his home town.

But if previous fantasy MZ & Partners (hotels, office buildings) have issued a passerby their eyes cling fussy forms, the "wall" - the complete opposite of them. From ground level, even with a certain angle, but from afar - the stadium can be found almost on a light Spolokhi.

The high white wall on one side of the stadium when looking from above like an open laptop screen. Accordingly, the field took the keyboard. In doing so, it is quite deep, and the rest of the rostrum, kommentatorskie cockpit and other details of the XXI century stadium hidden under the greens quite flat and very large hill. This is the stadium.

The special charm of the draft attached to the lack of lighting towers at the corners stadium. Instead, architects are quietly added to spotlight the various architectural elements of buildings (in the same "superstenu" in particular).

This plan required magicians of MZ & Partners is not for the "bare" originality. Choosing the form of stadium, it turns out, was purely pragmatic: lying in a prominent deepening arena, a cover on all sides by a mass of artificial "hill", is wonderfully keeps cool air (which is known to be flowing down) and not so very hot in the sun.






All this should lead to moderate the cost of stadium conditioning. Actually MICROCLIMATE it should be almost exclusively a natural way, by the properties of the structure. About the same degree of intervention techniques the authors of the draft does not say (their site, by the way - a sample brevity).

So no one cared katartsy aesthetics. Acceptable air temperature inside the stadium bowl for a hot country - similar to this miracle, mirage or an oasis in the desert. Well this is it an island of coolness does not appreciate the fans?

But in respect of commission favors FIFA - you can not say anything yet. The fact that the "Wall" is one drawback - it can hold only 11 thousand spectators.

This modest, even for a football stadium, many of them can boast more than 30 thousand jobs. About "multifunctional" sports arena, the largest of which can accommodate 80-100 of thousands of people, and say nothing.






Outweigh the enormity of whether Qatari project this "puncture" in the eyes of the jury, we can find out no later than June 2011. It is to this period, FIFA should be chosen to host 2018 Cup on.

The very unusual stadium-laptop, supposed to be built in 2010. It is in the best case, as pointed Times.

One way or another, but one of the most original sporting world "The Wall" will go down.

Here it must be said that there was another stadium, the general idea that in many ways resembles idea MZ & Partners - is Estadio Chivas Guadalajara. He, of course, is not entirely underground, but from the outside masked by the green "volcano" with a white cloud above.

About this volcano sporting passions of its authors and the history of the project, we were told in detail, even when the Estadio Chivas walked into the concept. But now construction is in full swing.

It is, however, somewhat delayed, compared with the previously scheduled. But never mind - these fans of modern architecture does not have the patience. The embodiment of the projects takes far more than one year.

But then, thousands of football fans, as well as athletes with great interest to appreciate the innovations of architects. Especially those that offer comfort.
