Spaceship-Inspired Stadiums

Architect Zaha Hadid Designs The Futuristic Japan National Stadium

— March 20, 2014 — Special
World-renowned architect Zaha Hadid has designed a futuristic stadium that will be the home of the 2020 Summer Olympics. The Japan National Stadiums futuristic appearance shifts away from the traditional block building stadiums.

The Japan National Stadium gives off the feel of something taken right off the screen of the newest 'Star Trek' movie. The sleek, swooping slopes of the stadiums exterior makes you think that this futuristic stadium will lift off from the ground and turn into a spaceship ready to warp out of this galaxy.

The Japan National Stadium will have a crowd capacity of 80,000 people. The retractable roof will open to allow for natural light to be splashed across the athletes' faces. For the changing of field or court sizes, the seating within the stadium can move to bring the spectators closer to the action. This futuristic stadium will surely be a sight to be seen once completed.
Trend Themes
1. Futuristic Stadium Design - Architects and designers can explore innovative and futuristic designs for stadiums, incorporating elements of technology and sustainability.
2. Flexible Seating Configurations - Developing stadiums with movable seating arrangements allows for adaptable layouts based on the event or sport being held, enhancing spectator experiences.
3. Integration of Natural Light - Designing stadiums with retractable roofs or large windows to incorporate natural light creates a more immersive and visually appealing atmosphere for spectators and athletes.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architectural firms can explore new and innovative stadium designs to meet the growing demand for unique and visually stunning venues.
2. Sports and Entertainment - The sports and entertainment industry can benefit from futuristic stadium designs that enhance the overall spectator experience and attract larger audiences.
3. Construction - The construction industry can seize opportunities to implement advanced construction techniques and materials in the development of futuristic stadiums.
