The German studio GMP Architekten has designed another stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium situated in Port Elizabeth.
The stadium is made up of a series of curved girders with an alternately opaque and perforated canopy stretched between them. A two-storey colonnaded gallery runs around the entire stadium, sitting on a raised podium. The geometry design considers the local conditions and provides necessary protection from the sun and strong winds. Sits in the middle of a park at the heart of the city and overlooks a lake, the stadium has 46,000 in capacity.
Port Elizabeth has a high-quality sports facility that will revitalize a whole section of the city, thanks to the construction of the Nelson Mandela Bay Arena. It’s a good chance to optimize the utilization of the stadium after the World Cup as well. For example, all the press and office areas of the arena can be converted to facilities for sports and leisure use and voluntary work, while the area between the stadium and the water can be used for lakeside relaxation. The district around Prince Alfred Park will attract the visitors day in, day out as a place welcoming public space because of a new cycle path round the stadium and lake rounds off the leisure facilities in the sports park.
