Jeju-do World Cup Stadium

 

The Jeju-do World Cup Stadium in Seogwipo held two first round matches, and one second round game. It took less than three years to build at a cost of 87 million dollars and, unlike many of the World Cup Stadium, it won’t lie ¹⁾redundant² after the finals.

Architect: We built this stadium based on the assumption that we would eventually move one side of it, after the World Cup is over. The Stadium was designed to be ²⁾dismantled, and reassembled. The parts can be moved easily using cranes.With the grounds so close to the coast, the playing field is below sea level to reduce the effects of the strong wind. Plans are ³⁾afoot to make the area around the stadium and all ⁴⁾mod ⁵⁾cons ⁶⁾ledger⁴ complex.

Architect: Many facilities for the resort can be built here in the future. For example, they include an IMAX cinema and theatre, a Sea Max Theatre, an ⁷⁾aquarium⁵, a shopping center and a multi-national food hall. All of these will be installed around the stadium, for various events that should attract even more tourists to the island.CE

16、现代化的西浦济世界杯体育馆

 

济州世界杯体育馆位于西归浦，世界杯的第一轮比赛有两场在这里举行，第二轮比赛有一场在这里举行。它历时三年完工，造价八千七百万美元。与很多世界杯体育馆不同的是，济州体育馆在世界杯决赛结束后仍有用武之地。

建筑师：在建造这座体育馆时，我们的想法是，在世界杯结束后能移走一部分。从一开始，这座体育馆就预备被拆除和重新组建。它的各部分都能用起重机轻易移走。由于体育馆场地靠近海岸，比赛场地低于海平线以减小风力的影响。将体育馆附近的地区建立成复杂的现代化场馆的计划正在进行当中。

建筑师：将来还会有许多设施在这个旅游胜地落成，其中包括一座立体电影院和剧院—海麦斯剧院，一个水族馆，一个购物中心和一个多国美食餐厅。所有这些都将设立在体育馆周围，因为各种各样的活动将吸引更多的游客到这个岛上来。CE
