History of the Architectural Concept
The stadium is modelled on the elephant, an animal that symbolises strength, tenacity and wisdom. The design aims to create a robust and resilient stadium that will blend harmoniously into its surroundings.
The deeper meaning of design choices
An Identity Built on Wisdom and Power
The choice of the elephant as a source of inspiration is more than just a question of aesthetics. It is a symbolic statement that enriches the meaning and scope of the architectural project.
Architectural Metaphor: Symbolic and Vibrant Resonance
The rounded roof represents the body of the elephant, the dark grey lines represent the trunk and the orange wall represents the grassland. The design symbolises the country's power, resilience and hope.
