Stade Bordeaux Atlantique by Herzog & de Meuron


Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron have designed a stadium for Bordeaux that will host football matches for Euro 2016.




A “forest” of slender white columns will support the rectangular white roof of the Stade Bordeaux Atlantique, which will shelter up to 43,000 spectators.

Natural light will filter into the stadium through glazed louvres in the roof. The base of the arena will house VIP lounges, players-spaces and media rooms, surrounded by food stalls amongst the columns. A public square in front of the building will form part of the proposed landscape improvements by French landscape architect Michel DesvigneThe stadium will be completed by 2015 and will also host rugby matches.
