When it comes to sports stadium designs, many architects and designers focus on building tech-advanced and cutting-edge facilities. This is partly due to the fact that the sports industry has been very lucrative for professionals but also a beloved pastime for the public. The Beijing-based firm MAD Architects takes contemporary sports stadium designs one step further and into the future. The practice introduced a striking 30,000-seat stadium in Quzhou, a city in eastern China. With some facilities still under construction, the floor plan of the structure is a whopping 6.5 million square feet.
While the structure of this sports stadium is futuristic and quite otherworldly in design, MAD Architects "covered all this space, including the buildings, with landscape" in order to break from the tradition of relying too much on concrete.
