NEWS 360 Architecture/HOK reveals unique stadium design
The Atlanta Falcons stadium will have an eight-petal retractable roof that opens like a flower
American football team the Atlanta Falcons has released details its new US$1.4bn (E1.2bn, £922m) 83,000-seat stadium, which will open in downtown Atlanta in 2017. The unique multi-use stadium features an eight-petal retractable roof – a first for any venue of this type – as well as the world’s largest 360 degree HD video screen, which will be viewable from every seat. Also included is an exterior 61,000sq ft
Bill Johnson of 360 Architecture says the circular opening was inspired by the Pantheon
(5,600sq m) fan plaza for pre- and post-game entertainment, as well as a 100-yard bar and
technology lounge which will offer spectators access to game-day media content. Bill Johnson of 360 Architecture, which
was recently acquired by HOK (see page 36), is lead architect for the project. Johnson says the circular opening in the roof was inspired by the Roman Pantheon and will be made of a clear, lightweight polymer whose opacity can be adjusted to control light. 360 is seeking LEED certification and using
recycled materials and solar panels in the development. @hoksportsrecent
Norwegian Cruise Line plans largest waterpark at sea
A ship in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet will boast the largest waterpark at sea when it launches later this year, with the company unveiling a raft of leisure facilities on board. The investment comes as the cruise market continues to experience rapid growth and the broadening of its customer profile. The 4,200-passenger ship – Norwegian Escape – with interior design by SMC Design and Tillberg Design, will feature an Aqua Racer – a tandem slide where competitors race side- by-side on tubes; Free Fall – side-by-side slides where passengers freefall into a loop as the floor drops away beneath them; a dedicated Kids’ Aqua Park; two pools; and four spa pools. In addition, the ship will house a rope course covering three storeys and a nine-hole miniature golf course themed on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nickelodeon characters
