The integration of several disciplines that could be achieved with Allplan was a key contributor to the success of this project. The exterior features a domed glazed façade over a complex network of steel girders. Seating up to 6,000 people, this unique arena is designed to be a truly multi-purpose building, adapting its functions to host a wide range of events.
Translated as “lighthouse”, Le Phare Arena in Chambéry, France will be able to be seen from miles away. The initial construction started with the simple supports, which proved that the details developed with Allplan fit reliably on site. The 3D visualizations enabled the structural engineers to see how far the roof supports deviated from each other so they could then devise a feasible solution that still fulfilled the architect’s vision. Using BIM meant that the data could be used to create various plans and calculations and information exchanged easily with other stakeholders.Īllplan greatly facilitated the design of the roof structure, as well as the construction planning. The unconventional Y-shaped structural roof supports were also a challenge on this project. The grandstand area in particular had many details that needed to be meticulously planned, which otherwise would have been difficult to do with precision using 2D drawings.
Planning such a complex operation requires the utmost accuracy, so 3D modeling and BIM were an enormous help on the project. However, the construction had to be planned so that the old stadium could be dismantled simultaneously, while still providing seating for 15,000 visitors at any one time. The new Wildpark Stadium in Karlsruhe, Germany will boast 34,000 seats within its rectangular walls. The model was shared with the project stakeholders using ALLPLAN’s Bimplus portal, as well as using the IFC format. This helped them to identify and rectify any collisions between stadium elements prior to construction, and also helped facilitate communication and collaboration during the project. Accordingly, the designers chose Allplan to create the spatial model and fulfill their BIM duties. Building Information Modeling (BIM) was also required by the client for this project. The height limitations meant a 3D model was imperative to ensure accuracy. © Football arena, Košice, Project: HESCON s.r.o., Trenčín At night, the perforations allow light through to create a different appearance. The disk-shaped stadium is enveloped in a perforated sheath that floats around the concrete and steel structure. The nearby Košice-Barca airport runway meant that there were stringent height restrictions for the new stadium however, the designers were able to create a striking structure despite this. Featuring a heated playing field, there were also training areas, changing rooms, and other facilities that would ensure the stadium met UEFA standards and could host international soccer matches. Here are the top five stadiums that have been designed and built using Allplan.Īt the end of 2018, construction began on a new soccer stadium in Košice, Slovakia that can hold 12,685 spectators. Accommodating the flow of tens of thousands of visitors – not to mention designing all the services they will require, as well as those athletes and staff who will use the arena – takes time, dedication, and the right stadium design software, such as Allplan. Yet stadium design is a careful balance of achieving the right vision for the arena while still ensuring that spectators will have an excellent view and enjoyable experience. Stadiums (or sports arenas) are unique architectural masterpieces.
