Şehir Stadi – design description
Developed initially in 2009, this vision of Ofiss Mimarca is to be associated with a flat football. In practise the elliptical form consists of numerous angular shapes, some of which stand out due to their vivid green colour.
Construction didn't start until spring 2012 and only in early 2013 did the structure start growing up from foundation stage.
