Warszawa: A Unique and Organic Sports Stadium Design

Connecting Sports and Nature in a Fluid Structure

Warszawa was conceived as the main building in a sports complex, with the intention of fostering a sense of unity and fluidity among the different structures. The stadium's design takes inspiration from nature, with the idea of the stadium being born from the ground itself. The paths leading to the stadium represent the roots, while the stadium itself is envisioned as a tree or plant.

What sets Warszawa apart from other sports stadiums is its organic and fluid structure. The design not only connects all the buildings within the complex but also creates a unique experience for visitors. The surrounding garden and stadium rings are designed to be accessible to the public, allowing people to walk, run, bike, or skate around the stadium. This innovative approach blurs the boundaries between the stadium and its surroundings, encouraging an active and engaging lifestyle.

Nuno Calado, along with the assistance of Miguel Potier, brought this visionary design to life. Their goal was to create a sports stadium that not only met professional and industrial requirements but also provided a sense of fulfillment and positive feelings. The result is a structure that seamlessly integrates with its environment, offering a new way of experiencing sports and nature.

Recognized for its excellence, Warszawa was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2020. This accolade is a testament to the well-designed, practical, and innovative nature of the project. The design's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contributes to a better world, providing a space that fosters connection, activity, and enjoyment.
