The new 90,000 seat state-of-the-art Wembley Stadium, designed to the highest specs, will become the world's most dynamic stadium.
Replacing the famous Twin Towers is a wonder of modern architecture. When our first sketches of an arch hit the tracing paper, we could all see the magic in the form. Rising 133m, the arch has been designed to support the 7,000 tonne steel roof structure, eliminating the need for pillars. The geometry of the seating bowl, designed as a single form rather than 4 separate stands, ensures that spectators have an unobstructed view from each of the 3 tiers. The roof will have retractable panels to allow light and air onto the pitch, maintaining the quality of the famous Wembley Stadium turf.
