Client Brief Exercise• Divide into the 3 clients for a new
premiership football club stadium;– Spectators– Owners/Operators– Participants
• Discuss the needs and wants of your particular group.
• Formulate a brief for the stadium designer and present your brief to the rest of the class.
P9
Roof Types• Goal Post structures;
– Best suited for rectangular Stadia– Cheap– Needs regular Maintenance
• Cantilever Structure;– Useful for continuous bowl-
shaped structures and isolated stands
– Unobstructed view– Can appear tall and intimidating
from the outside

Roof Types• Space Frame Structure;
– Can create dramatic shapes– Capable of spanning large
distances– Expensive
• Tension Structure;– Carries tension forces
through cables and covered with fabric
– Festive and light in appearance
– Requires sophisticated design

Grass Pitches• Grass needs ample light, air movement and strict
controls over its humidity & temperature to ensure healthy growth.
• The degree of enclosure effects the amount of sunlight and air that reaches the grass.
• Flexible, multi-use stadiums will have a way to either remove the grass or cover it up so music concerts can take place.
• A permanently or partly roofed stadium can increase the quality of the playing surface through use of a– Roll-In/Roll-out pitch– Pitch on jacks, allowing it to be raised– Retractable roof– Partly, or completely translucent roof covering
P12
Environmental Factors• Visual Impact• Flexibility
– Stadiums which stand dormant for almost half the year are not sustainable structures.
– Multi-use stadiums have a much better impact on the surrounding area and also generate more income.
• Design Life– Incorporate possible expansion options into design.
• Use of materials• Maintenance
– Incorporate a strategy early on to prevent wastage.
• Lighting– Optimise the amount of daylight into the structure.– Distribute floodlights evenly. P13
Design Decisions Exercise
• Re-group into a design team made up of at least one from each client group.
• By choosing one option from – Degree of enclosure– Roof Type– Pitch system– Roof CoveringOptimise the value you are adding to the
stadium above the cost.
