The all-white membrane on the top was created to look like a ring of smoke. While we all know that volcanoes are disastrous to our environment, this is one volcano that is very eco-friendly. Studio Massaud ensured that the volcanic soccer stadium uses collected rainwater for watering the pitch. It also features a naturally ventilated parking garage that holds up to 8,500 cars. Take a look through the gallery to see this extraordinary volcanic soccer stadium. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects to design eco-friendly structures like the volcanic soccer stadium that use rainwater collection and natural ventilation. - **Themed Stadiums:** There is a growing trend for themed stadiums that incorporate designs from nature like volcanoes, forests, and oceans. - **Sustainable Sports Venues:** There is an opportunity to create sustainable sports venues that prioritize environmentally-friendly features like rainwater harvesting, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects can explore innovative designs for sustainable sports venues like the volcanic soccer stadium, which prioritize environmental sustainability and function. - **Sports and Entertainment:** The sports and entertainment industry can incorporate more eco-friendly features in their venues and use their platform to encourage sustainability initiatives. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planners can create more sustainable and livable cities by incorporating sports venues that prioritize environmental sustainability and function as community centers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Resilience Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fukushima-united.md) - [Volcanic Visitor Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plat-asia.md) - [Football Stadium Renovation Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selman-strmasi-stadium.md) - [Fan‑inspired Arenas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kunshan-olympic-sports-centre.md) - [Elevated Sleek Grandstand Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deportivo-zanatepec.md) - [Architectural Sports Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-international-football.md) - [Skyline Sports Arenas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neom-sky-stadium.md) - [Curved Stadium Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-international-football-centre.md) - [Domed Underground Sports Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-complex.md)
