About the Municipal Stadium of Braga

Souto de Moura developed a project without stands at the top, because he believes that one should watch a football match like on TV or at the cinema.

The result should be simple in its shape and in its construction logic. The works are the culmination of an intense, demanding and stimulating dialogue between architecture and engineering.
