Briefly

Populous, in collaboration with Maffeis Engineering, has unveiled plans for a new 18,500-seat stadium in Venice's Bosco dello Sport, creating a focal point for sports and entertainment. This venue will host Serie A matches, rugby, and concerts, situated in a 116-hectare sports hub. The stadium features an adaptive design that enhances sightlines and fan experience, including VIP hospitality areas, dining, and accessibility. Its design mimics natural surroundings, contributing to a transformative social landscape while emphasizing sustainability and modernity.
'Populous Italia is proud to contribute to the Bosco dello Sport project, where entertainment and sports activities at all levels will have a transformative and regenerative impact on the area.'
The stadium's elliptical footprint and vertical facade elements compose a lightweight structure. A crescent-shaped podium wraps around the stadium, housing parking areas and services without disturbing the landscape.
