Football European championship in 2012 will take place in Poland and the Ukraine. The mayor of Kiev has decided that the city needs the second, "pure" football stadium, with capacity of from 55,000 to 60,000 spectators.
As a property the area became around the old horse racecourse in southwest of the city well-chosen. This lies at the crossroad of cities Ring highway and southwest city entrance. It is bound nearly perfectly to the public traffic network and disposes of enough place for other public leisure facilities and sports facilities (Go-Kart track, tennis school, gulf club, swimming center, etc.) which are planned for the whole area.
Edge condition on the draught has become the oval form of the racecourse and matching cypress rows. Both elements are preserved and become with it the most important factors of the draught. Racecourse offers excellent place for both construction bodies; cypress rows and in addition belonging park "underline" oval form of the road even stronger. Therefore a unique complex of sports sites which is possible so only at this point will create.
The stadium stands towards from arena with which between them necessarily an event plateau originates. This anew resulted and outside being element connects optically both buildings with each other, however, serves at the same time also as a level for spectator's meeting and spectator's separation. To grasp this, both arrangements were connected with a clear net voile which goes over fluently from one in the other construction body (and also vice versa) and therefore a bridges-like, light-permeable Dome about the plateau forms. In addition the upper rostrums are absent mutually standing sides of stadium and arena what still strengthens the feeling of togetherness.
The symbol of a bridge which leads from the past (preservation of the racecourse arrangement) in the future (origin of new sports sites) becomes the new landmark of Ukrainian capital.
