We offer a multipurpose equipment, capable of hosting various events and
amplifying the warmth of the supporters’ cheers. A magic cauldron where the
existing infrastructure is transformed into a new arena, adapted to contemporary
standards of video capture, security and commercial identification.
This cauldron is composed of three continuous rings that unify all the covers and
facades. Three protective rings, sometimes transparent, which shelter the stands
from bad weather:
- The first ring is in the center of the arena. It connects all the ends of the covers
above the stands. It is a ring that rests on metal wings whose visual impact is
assumed and homogenized. It is also a support for the new sports lightings and
ensures the interior perception of the cauldron.
- The second ring is the main cover whose existing geometry is extended to the
new covered stands.
- The third ring is outside the stadium. It connects all the stands by creating a
clearly identifiable façade continuity, both near and far. The geometry of this ring
follows the height of the covers, in a fluid and dynamic geometry. In addition
to protecting from the wind, it gives the value of an architectural object to the
stadium, which stands out from its context with a strong, unforgettable identity.
This work on the envelopes is accompanied by an overhaul of the interior spaces
with improvement of the locker rooms, dressing rooms, kitchens... and the
establishment of a museum in the heart of this reimagined stadium, if not new.
Through this global overhaul of the visual identity, the Armand-Cesari stadium is
entering a new era, that of a stadium with increased reception capacity, allowing
diversified uses and with a strong architectural signature, setting the stadium
apart of Furiani by an important symbol and clearly identifiable by all.
