The design of
Stadium 974
For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, one of it’s hosting venues will be completely dismantled and repurposed. Modular parts of Stadium 974 will be reused in multiple sporting and non-sporting projects in the future in an attempt to set a more sustainable example in future tournament planning.
According to Fenwick Iribarren Architects, based on the concepts of modularity, mobility, legacy, the stadium will be completely dismantled and repurposed after the World Cup. All of its parts, including shipping containers, removable seats and the roof, will be completely reused after 2022, paving the path for other temporary, visually appealing and cost-effective venues in the future.
