MATERIALS EFFICIENCY AND CONSTRUCTION OPTIMIZATION
The parametric design process optimizes the design to reduce the material and energy cost of construction and accelerate the
schedule The stadium features a diagrid facade, a structurally ef昀椀cient approach that combines lateral- and gravity-load bearing
resistances into a single diagonal grid system that eliminates the need for columns and reduces the material cost of the structure.
BIM coordination with the structural engineer and local fabricator facilitated tests in how different module dimensions impacted the
cost, constructibility, and visual effect of the facade. The 昀椀nal design—which uses planar glass panes with aluminum “eyelids” to
achieve the curving effect—is optimized for materials ef昀椀ciency and ease-of-construction.
