New Football Stadium of PANATHINAIKOS F.C. in Votanikos Area, in the city of Athens.
The complex will include sports facilities such as a football stadium (40.000 seats), Athletic Center for PANATHINAIKOS MULTISPORT CLUB, as well as commercial uses, Sport Park, Green Park (ecological park) and parking areas.
The New Stadium of PANATHINAIKOS F.C. that is situated in the heart of Athens, forms a landmark that defines the area of Votanikos and can help for the regeneration of the degraded region.
The white, rounded volume of the stadium like an abstract sculpture in the landscape, is devoid of elements that might indicate a sense of scale and reveal its true dimensions.
The stadium is designed to be a perfect circle.
The structure is surrounded by a broad plateau, which extends beneath the upper stands.
The stadium has an original design with a three-dimensional dynamic roof (all seats are covered by the roof).
The structure is designed to enable the use of photovoltaic panels, so as to allow the complex to make extensive use of solar energy.
It was inspired by three important topics - network, transformation, open systems. These key elements led to the development of this unusual complex.
