Brasília National Stadium

The existing Mané Garrincha Stadium was completely renovated for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Castro Mello designed a new bowl for which sbp and gmp Architekten developed the surrounding circular esplanade and a double layer suspended roof. Since the stadium is on the central axis of Brasília and is the largest building in the city, the new design of the stadium had to be monumental to mark its position. The suspended roof is concentric with a double-layer structure and an outer compression ring, a retractable roof was optional. For the roof development, the balanced suspension wheel principle was chosen as design basis. Design possibilities for photovoltaic modules and a collection system for rainwater have been integrated in the planning to achieve the first environmentally aware, sustainable football World Cup.

Our product used in this project

Building integrated PV

Solar Facades and Roofs

As a sbp company, sbp sonne offers consulting, design, modeling, calculation and construction design for any project involving building-integrated photovoltaics. We benefit from the extensive knowledge on roof structures, facades and lightweight structures to design and install BIPV for buildings and structures at any given location.

Replacing conventional building materials with photovoltaic materials in parts of the building envelope reduces the expense of construction materials and labor that would normally be used to construct the part of the building. sbp sonne integrates BIPV into the design of new buildings as well as retrofitting of existing structures.
