Presented its new designs yesterday, the club said that the New Camp Nou will be “a stadium for the 21st century that emphasizes the spirit of wanting to be open to everyone”.

Designed by Nikken Sekkei studio from Japan, the project will convert the current stadium into a brand new Camp Nou without a conventional façade and that will be “serene, timeless, Mediterranean and democratic”.

The winning proposal has created an excellent, comfortable stadium with a 105,000 capacity and boasting a full range of services, fitting in perfectly with the surrounding Campus Barça -eliminating previous barriers to the neighbourhood and opening the facilities to the city via a new green space. Access to the stadium will be at street level through a spacious and lofty atrium, with access to the upper floors via 12 separate columns which incorporate escalators, stairways and lifts. The New Camp Nou will be built to the highest standards of sustainability, using collected rainwater from the roof and solar energy as part of the global strategy of the Espai Barça to become a stadium that is open and accessible to as well as being a smart stadium incorporating the latest technological advances.

The first level will be completely new and built in a more parabolic and vertical style. The second tier will maintain its current structure while offering ideal visibility with the addition of increased comfort, accessibility and services, including the third tier, which will run round the whole ground above the main stand. Above that, there will be a 360° walkway with connections both with the inside of the stadium and the outside city.

This video shows the different construction phases that Camp Nou will undergo in the next few years.
