As it stood in 2016

What Stade Vélodrome looked like in its prime.

A vast white arched roof vaults over a continuous bowl of seating; beneath the roof the façade reads as alternating dark vertical slats and glazed entrance bays. A broad, low-angle concrete esplanade and long central stair flights lead up to the main doors. Materials are concrete steps, metal railings, glazed panels and the white metal cladding of the roof; scale is stadium-large, with banners and signage across the facade and a clear, sheltered upper rim under the roofline.
