SCAU architects and Didier Rogeon associated architects is the winning team for the international consultation.
The reconstruction of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille centers on increased spectator capacity, the covering of the stands, and the creation of numerous hospitality spaces.
The architectural concept focuses on protection from poor weather: the strong point of the project is the cover, which has an undulating silhouette unrolling around the four stands.
Composed of a smooth, translucent, milky skin, stretched over a monumental structural web that seems to float, the roof of the Stade Vélodrome becomes a new landmark of Marseille.
