THE RECONSTRUCTION RETAINS THE HISTORIC PERIMETER OF THE ORIGINAL 1930s FACADES, ABOVE WHICH RISES A SMOOTH, PARABOLIC VOLUME HOUSING TWO DISTINCT VENUES — THE OPEN-AIR FOOTBALL STADIUM AND THE COVERED MULTIFUNCTIONAL ARENA.
THE EXTERIOR ENVELOPE IS SUPPORTED BY A SEPARATE CABLE STRUCTURE AND CLAD WITH POLYCARBONATE PANELS IN A DIAMOND PATTERN, A SUBTLE REFERENCE TO THE ICONIC “DYNAMO” EMBLEM.
EMBEDDED LED STRIPS TRANSFORM THE FACADE INTO A MEDIA SURFACE AT NIGHT, WHILE A GIANT SCREEN ON THE WESTERN ELEVATION COMMUNICATES LIVE EVENTS ALONG LENINGRADSKY PROSPECT.
