GSP "Pancypria" Stadium and Athletic Center

Nicosia, Cyprus

Recollections of modernist Art contributed subconsciously to shape the conceptual idea for this 30,000 seat soccer stadium supported by circulation elements and combined with a 6,000 seat track and field stadium. The architectural footprint of this international competition entry winner could be attributed to a certain visual and compositional order evident in examples of abstract art as precedent. This footprint extruded into a section and capped by a suspended steel canopy, is juxtaposed against the distant ground of a mountain range, and read as a symbol realized from a synthesis of multiple themes.
