Designed in competition for the FIFA 2010 World Cup, the brief also specified the need to accommodate the opening ceremony for a future Olympic Games; thus a hybrid between the ideal square football stadium and a standard athletics oval was required. In the vein of iconic structures that are interactive, we proposed a 1km jogging track within compression ring in order to encourage fitness, perambulation and sightseeing. The base houses a shopping mall that would activate the precinct on a day-to-day basis.
