Nou Camp Nou (II) – design description

Lightweight, highly perforated outer mesh would create a uniform appearance from all sides, still providing an attractive and dynamic perspective thanks to changing colours. By day the south end of Camp Nou would be sprinkled with blue dots, with the colour changing to red as pedestrians would walk along to the north end. By night this impression would fade as all of the façade could be turned into a giant screen.

Above the stand an interesting roof is planned, created with several rings. Those near the centre and south side would be transparent to allow sufficient sunlight access to the field despite the grandeur of the building.

This vision by Populous, Mias Arquitectes and RCR Arquitectes gained recognition during the official international competition, reaching the final shortlist. However the winning bid came from Nikken Sekkei and Joan Pascual i Ramon Ausió Arquitectes.
