New Everton Stadium Discussion


^^ Yeah, it looks stupid from the aerial renders. Ground level looks much better, definitely unique and pretty amazing architecturally, not sure I like it completely though. It's a bit....dour (pic below).

Anyway, posted that article for context really. Chelsea have got on board starchitects H&dM whose designs will always cost a bomb (and the club are apparently looking to buy a brickworks to guarantee the supply of bricks needed for the exterior :Blink:). We've gone somewhere down the middle with Populous (high quality but nothing that's going to shatter the mould), whilst in Meis you've got someone who insists modern stadiums cost too much and are too bloated so would maybe expect something lightweight, minimalist but still high quality when the designs are shown. But that's what he's up against.

Three new c60k stadiums, three different approaches (four if you throw in West Ham's athletics jobby). I hope Chelsea's costs don't spiral anymore though, that'd be a real shame. :coffee:
