COOLING REQUIREMENTS POSE UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE

摘要

One of the most complex aspects of staging the World Cup in Qatar is the commitment to provide air-conditioned stadia and public areas, Zaha Hadid Architects director and Al Wakrah Stadium lead architect Jim Heverin says the cooling dynamics are "easily the largest challenge on the project". The stadium design aims to cool the pitchside to 26 deg C and to between 24 and 28 deg C for spectators. The 72,000 sq m public realm outside the stadium will be cooled to between 30 and 32 deg C.
