BOSCO DELLO SPORT STADIUM, VENICE POPULOUS
Plans for a new stadium have been unveiled and presented to the Municipality of Venice, designed by specialist fi rm Populous. Maffeis Engineering and Populous have been commissioned for the design and engineering work by the consortium of companies composed of Costruzioni Bordignon, Fincantieri Infrastrutture and Ranzato Impianti, which was awarded the contract for the project in March 2024. The new Serie A stadium will have 18,500 seats. It will be part of a major sports masterplan built in Tessera in the new Bosco dello Sport, a multifunctional, 116-hectare hub in the northern part of the city, designed to integrate sport, social life, education and wellbeing. The stadium’s design is inspired by the surrounding landscape, with curved lines that follow the wider masterplan, interacting with the nearby arena and sports centre. The facade features a composition of vertical elements that rise upward in a regular pattern, creating a visible backdrop to the upper section of the seating bowl. This makes the stadium structure light and airy, allowing a view above the top of the stadium bowl. The crescent-shaped podium ‘embraces’ the stadium, “becoming a strategic part of the structure,” said the architects, housing parking areas and other services. The seating ‘bowl’ is a semi-continuous section on the south, east, and north sides. Populous’ specialist designers formed it to offer optimal sightlines during matches, with a “compact and monumental” confi guration for maximum fan experience while enhancing the atmosphere. The new stadium will be able to transform to host Serie A rugby matches and live events such as concerts.
