Camp Nou stadium

When Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou stadium celebrated its 50 year anniversary earlier this year exciting new plans were launched for the ‘remodeling’ of the stadium in order to turn it into an eye-catching sight and fully integrated monument in the architectural heritage of the city. The British architect Norman Foster has proudly been named as the brains behind the estimated 250 million euro project, with worldwide projects such as Wembley Stadium to his name, the project is considered a reciprocal honour for both architect and the city.

As you can see, the outer shell of the stadium will be mosaic-like in appearance (…not dissimilar to the Torre Agbar?) and will create an impressive visual impact, especially by night. The top tiers of the stadium will be henceforth accessible by escalators, providing views over the surrounding area. As for seating arrangements, although seating numbers will not be greatly increased, it is planned that at least 50% of seats will be undercover.

Fans are assured that there will be no disruption to fixtures during the time of construction. Only guided tours of the stadium will be mildly affected at certain crucial times of construction.
