NBBJ has finalized their proposal for the new Dalian Shide Football Stadium in Dalian, China. The structure is designed with principles of organic architecture in mind, modeling itself after a garden by having only what is needed to thrive.
The design imagines if the ground were folded open to create two garden walls to contain the venue. This concept creates a strong visual impact and leaves both ends open to overlook the ocean and mountains nearby. The exterior of the walls are clad with living plants that naturally change colour throughout the year, while the inside features giant LED panels. A roof made from a flexible cable
system covers the stadium and is interwoven with fabric to shield the fans from the elements.

The design is an attempt to improve the in-stadium experience, rather than focus on the exterior form like many other modern stadiums. The stadium will have 40,000 seats and intends to set a new standard for sustainable stadium architecture.
