Hi guys.

So it has been a while, but I have been busy! I have been working on some internal views of th stadium. Now that the planning application is in, I was able to really make very detailed internal models without too much guess work. Of course, there is some degree of guessing as to exact finishes and materials. I have tried to use only materials I have seen in the official images, or those that have been mentioned in the planning documents.

In making the images, it become very apparent that the finish materials will have a drastic effect on the overal design. The geometry is fairly simple, but the forms really change with the asemeteric design. The only thing that really binds the unusual spaces together is a limited pallet of materials. The brick really gives a rich texture to the spaces and frames openings. The flooring could be an issue. When I modelled poured concrete on the floor and walls between the brick columns, it quickly started to look cold, and I hate to say, a little like a car park. But, if the floor stone work from outside the building is continued inside, it begins to look a lot more rich. Add to that careful lighting and the spaces I think start to look ever so dramatic. I really got the sense of a castle or fortress. And with the many layers of columns and vaults, it looks a bit like the roman colleseum. I love the view looking out from the concourses to the outside of the stadium, through the forest of brick columns. And the scales of the main entrance in the west stand is rediculous. People will feel tiny moving within that entrance.

I hope you like them.

Well done. Really does look huge and imposing from the outside.

that look`s beautiful....the brick breaks up the dullness of the steel columns.

The bricks really give it a rich texture. One thing I can say for certain, there are no other stadiums anything like this.

You should try & get a job involved in the design mate, any plans to design the gates?

Yeah, I'm going to give it a go and design some gates. It's quite a challenge to do something iconic, and not just another set of gates.

I think we should go for some of those enormous Jurassic park gates, huge wooden things.

Wow! Really nice! It reminds me a lot of the Colosseum in Rome, have you been there?

There are very specific dimensions the gates can not exceed unfortunately. Good idea though. I would have liked that! And yes I have spent a lot of time in rome and like the roman architecture.

Sort of reminds me of the Luzhniki Stadium whenever I see it - not in a bad way.

I love it but it looks like there are far too many brick pillars round the entrances, it looks like you'll only get about 4 people abreast between the pillars.

Beautiful can't wait for it to be finished

Just read on twitter (source was the Mail, so make of that what you will) that Chelsea will knock down the existing stadium and build a completely new one in it's place.  Timeline is that Chelsea will vacate in May 2017 and whole new stadium built between June 17 and September 18 (that's pretty quick!

I would rather be a world class team with a medicore stadium than have a world class stadium with medicore team.

I dont know much about building stadiums, but this sounds to me to be absolutely impossible. 3 months to build a 60,000 stadium? I think it will take 1-2 years

Think it will take at least a year just knocking it down and laying new foundations. 3-4 years imo

Ikea jobbie mate. It'll be the Stamford Bridge Mjøl∂ƒßåøµßœπton

Uhm alright mate.. Thanks for your input..?

You're probably correct. I'm sure the club have done no research and are just wingin it.
