RE-STADIUM – rethinking sports facilities for adaptive reuse.
RE-STADIUM is a project with the aim to rethink the concept and design of the sports structures for mega-events such as the FIFA World Cup, which requires a high spectator capacity that is unsustainable in the long term. The proposal for more sustainable development is presented through a highly integrated plot to the urban context, adaptability with minimum intervention and environmental impacts while meeting stadium requirements. Design solutions were implemented for the 2026 Championship New York Stadium by integrating the research of global phenomena related to sport structures, analysis of the existing context, urban-social problems and environmental challenges. The main goal was to lay architectural, constructive and engineering solutions into the stadium design that is built for blending into its context by transforming a one-use event infrastructure into a mixed-use residential complex.
