SHER E BANGLA NATIONAL STADIUM, MIRPUR, DHAKA, BANGLADEH
Concept
The Sher E Bangla National Stadium, named after A K
Fazlul Haque , one of the country’s most renowned
leaders and freedom fighters of the 1940’s, is situated
about 10 kilometers outside the centre of Dhaka. The
move from the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka
to Mirpur was met with much resistance, but the BCB
had decided that they needed a stadium dedicated
exclusively to cricket, and carried on despite criticism.
S
T The site of this venue is a total of 58 ‘
A Bighas’, which translates into about
8,35,200 square feet of area. The stadium
D was originally built for soccer and athletics,
so it is rectangular in shape. The designers
I had to commit a substantial amount of
demolition and reconstruction to make a
U typically round cricket ground to fit in this
rectangular space. They have done it
M successfully and with grace.

Structure
The galleries are held by typical sections
of concrete piers. The newly added
roofing for the VIP galleries is made up
of polycarbonate sheeting suspended by
steel tension cables. The player’s viewing
area, the media centre and the
presidency boxes have a glass bubble
-like look. The glass bubble has a
seamless, topless glass top and front.

Special features
The most striking feature of the ground is the drainage
facility, which is probably the best in the sub-continent.
To bring the play area into shape for cricket, a lot of
demolition had to be done, and the athletics tracks
had to be dug up. About three feet of soil was excavated
to remove all the red clay. PVC pipes were fit in before
filling it up with rock chips, then sand and lastly grass.
The slope is nice and even, a difference of 29 inches from
the wicket to the boundary. The tubular flood light
poles are a new edition to the cricket stadium.

NEW BEIJING
NATIONAL STADIUM
Basic information
• Year of completion: 2008
• Location: Beijing, Republic of China
• Architects: Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron
Concept of the project
S The new National Stadium is located
on a gentle rise in the center of
T Olympic green like a large colossal
vessel. The stadium’s appearance is a
A pure image with its facade and
structure mutually supporting each
D other and converging into a grid-like
I formation- almost like a bird’s nest
with its interwoven branches. This
U produces dramatic effect on the
stadium. The spatial effect of the
M stadium is simple and of an almost
archaic immediacy.

Structure
Just as the birds stuff the spaces between the woven
twigs of their nest with soft filler, the space in the
structure of the stadium is filled with inflated ETFE
cushions. The cushions mounted on the outer side of the
structure makes the roof
completely weatherproof.
Whist the rain is collected,
the sunlight filters through
the translucent roof
providing the lawn with
the necessary UV-radiation.
