UK architecture studio BDP has unveiled the Suoyuwan Barracuda Bay Stadium in Dalian Bay, China, which is wrapped with a spiral footpath that overlooks the waterside.
The 63,000-capacity football stadium was designed by BDP's sports and entertainment division BDP Pattern with engineering firm Buro Happold, aiming to create a landmark for the city of Dalian.
Located on a reclaimed industrial site on the bay's peninsula, the Suoyuwan Barracuda Bay Stadium has a double-helix ramp that wraps the facade and leads from the building's podium to the roof.
The stadium has a circular shape and its facade features geometric blue patterns, referencing sea waves and maritime creatures.
