The pot is punctured by open panels thatprovide natural ventilation and, when the stadium is lit up, mimic the starlit African sky. This gives a unique African flavor to the facade of the building. The facade is made up of a specially designed cladding system, developed as fiber-cement panels that could be produced using locally sourced material. The design had to work around an existing historic stadium, and so theproject called for the right balance of renovation and rebuilding. The challenge for designer Populous was to create a new state of the art stadium that would act as a symbol for modern African culture and, crucially, meet FIFA's technical requirements. This stadium was build to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time the event had taken place in Africa. It is bordered by a 3,000 square foot pedestrian plaza, which escorts fans to parking lots that are carved into the surrounding forests. The rounded shape of this arena enhances the sound and intensifies crowd enthusiasm during matches. A shimmering skin-like fabric covers the dome and makes the stadium appear alive. The stadium is draped in aluminium and imitates the construction of living cells highlighted by splodgy openings.
