The Cathedral, new stadium for Milan

The football clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan have announced that Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, commonly known as the San Siro, will be replaced by a stadium designed by Populous. Named ‘The Cathedral,’ the design draws inspiration from two of Milan’s major landmarks, the Duomo di Milano and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele; that is, the city’s real cathedral and the shopping gallery beside it. Taking in 60,000 spectators, the new sport arena will be surrounded by vertical structures and will incorporate photovoltaic panels and a rainwater collection system. The project seeks to improve the quality of the entire area’s urban fabric, so reconfigures the San Siro neighborhood altogether, including a 50,000-square-meter park,
