Spanish La Liga giants FC Barcelona have unanimously chosen the bid
by architects Nikken Sekkei and Pascual i Ausió Arquitectes as the
winners of the tender for the design of the new Camp Nou.
The club said the Nikken Sekkei + Pascual i Ausió Arquitectes
proposal stood out for being "open, elegant, serene, timeless
Mediterranean and democratic".
Barcelona launched the International Architectural Tender on 5 June
2015 to select the projects for the new Camp Nou and the new Palau
Blaugrana.
The redevelopment project will see the attendance at the Camp Nou stadium increase to 105,000.
In a statement the club added: "It is also notable for its
relationship with the environment, providing depth, creating shadows and
making members the stars of the facade and of the open area at all
times.
"The proposal presents a very subtle attempt to intervene in the
environment to facilitate circulation and achieve diverse urban usage in
the Barça Campus and guarantees a clear and safe construction.
"In short, it is a unique solution, reproducing the characteristic
vision of the grandstand and canopy, from the inside out, a silent and
powerful tribute to the stadium built by Francesc Mitjans in 1957."
