Populous designed the new Multifunctional Concert and Congress Center stadium in Munich, Germany. The arena is set to host a mix of concerts and large-scale events, boasting a capacity of 20,000. The design studio created the stadium with a decorative exoskeleton that references the Bavarian flag.
The space is set to be built on parkland beside the LapCampus innovation center at Munich Airport. According to the architectural company, the design will feature a "high recognition factor" as it plays homage to the heritage of Bavaria. Its compact and visually distinctive shape will create a hub for culture and community. Moreover, the building will incorporate renewable energy sources that Populous hopes will supply all of the stadium's required operational energy.
