Tooj 17 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. Took this from another forum. Currently the Barça board is planning to modernize the Nou Camp following Norman Foster's project, but now Laporta and co are considering to take into account another very ambitious project that could see Barcelona playing in a stadium built on artificial island off the Catalan coast. The project is designed by a local architect named Emil Vidal and could make the new Camp Nou the most impressive stadium in the world. So my question is which project do you prefer? The classic version of Foster or the pricey super futuristic design of Emil Vidal? Sir Norman Foster's project: Vidal's project Foster's obviously being the more practical one, but Vidal's looks absolutely glorious. Deliberate spelling of new btw.

Andrew 4297 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 both stunning but fosters is the only one that could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 proper club. fantastic ideas both, but fosters one gets my approval. He is a truly great designer, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1892 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I don't get the obsession with building off-land. Well I know it's only Portsmouth and Barca so far, but.. I don't get it. Surely you'd rather have the Stadia as near (close) to the city centre as possible, so, Fosters for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Fosters looks like a massive boiled sweet. Vidal ftw. Threads screaming out for a poll tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm just surprised there's no plan to replicate the SoS. However, fozzie's will win, purely on the traffic issue. imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty 4 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Both are lush. Have to go for the second one though, if that we're us I'd prefer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 739 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Not a fan of the Vidal, looks like a space station, football stadia should conform to certain standards of design imo and the USS Enterprise isn't one of them. Foster's is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsweeney 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Having only one walkway into the stadium could cause overcrowding issues. Both look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asprilla 96 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Vidal's for me. It would become the most iconic stadium on the planet. I've flown into Barcelona several times and you'd see it as you came into land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I thought a while ago they'd already decided on Foster's but it must have just been his plans being unveiled. Prefer the other one actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
