UEFA Championships Stadiums - GMP Architekten
Hamburg-based GMP Architekten have completed two stadiums for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. The 'National Stadium' in Warsaw, Poland, and the 'Olympic Stadium' in Kiev, Ukraine, will jointly host the final stages of the competition.
The first structure is built on the abandoned site of the 1988 Dziesieciolecia arena. It is situated in Skaryazewsi Park, east of the city centre.
The interior roof consists of a mobile membrane sail that folds together above the pitch. A video cube with four screens give optimal sightlines from all seating positions.
The stadium is draped in the national colors of Poland to identify the structure as a landmark.
The second structure is a reconstruction of the Olympic Stadium which will host the final game of the Championships.
The frame of the new roof structure is detached and placed clear of the existing bowl, with a membrane incorporating air supports and domes of light.
The lower part of the stand was redesigned and updated in accordance with safety requirements and seats up to 68 000 people.
