Arena Da Amazonia / GMP Architects
Text description provided by the architects. This stadium design was based on the idea of creating a
simple but highly efficient stadium which also makes reference to the special location, to the fascination and
natural diversity of forms in the tropical rainforest. Designed for 44,400 spectators, the stadium is located at
the central traffic axis that links the airport with the inner city. The new building was integrated into a sports
park with Sambadrome, field and track facilities, multi-purpose halls and an aquatic center. The project was
developed in cooperation with the gmp partner practice STADIA from São Paulo and the structural engineers
schlaich bergermann und partner.
Making best use of the topography with its gentle slope in the terrain, the stadium has been placed
on a base which provides space for VIP access, the media, the players and parking spaces. A ring including
spectator boxes, offices and a restaurant sepa- rates the upper tier from the lower tier, which is recessed in
the base. The roof structure is composed of mutually bracing cantilever elements in the form of hollow steel
box girders which also serve as large gutters for the discharge of the enormous quanti- ties of water expected
during tropical rain events. In view of the hot and humid climate at the Amazon, the roof extends into a
facade which provides shade to the spectator balconies and vertical access routes. The roof and facade panels
consist of translucent glass fiber fabric.
The Arena da Amazô nia is one of the world’s first stadiums to be certified under the LEED scheme
administered by the US Green Building Council.
Deskripsi teks disediakan oleh arsitek. Desain stadion ini didasarkan pada ide untuk membuat stadion
yang sederhana namun sangat efisien yang juga mengacu pada lokasi khusus, ke pesona dan
keanekaragaman bentuk di hutan hujan tropis. Dirancang untuk 44.400 penonton, stadion ini terletak di
poros lalu lintas pusat yang menghubungkan bandara dengan pusat kota. Bangunan baru diintegrasikan ke
dalam taman olahraga dengan Sambadrome, fasilitas lapangan dan trek, ruang serba guna dan pusat air.
Proyek ini dikembangkan bekerja sama dengan praktek mitra gmp STADIA dari São Paulo dan insinyur
struktur schlaich bergermann und partner.
