To sports fans, a stadium is a shrine: a place where the like-minded meet to cheer, chat, and get lost in the collective rush of 60,000 people watching as one. As you can imagine, this feeling doesn’t happen by chance. It’s cultivated by the stadium’s design and how different choices enhance the game and interaction points for anyone who ventures inside. From the exterior to what you can see from your seat, everything is considered. And it needs to be when a project is this complex!
Recently, Zaha Hadid Architects tamed that complexity with Unreal Engine, using a familiar favorite, to design and visualize the upcoming Xi’an International Football Center (XIFC), which will make its debut in 2023 as host of the biggest soccer tournament in Asia—the AFC Asian Cup.
