Patkau Architects. Populous to design $400million Korean Stadium. The global design practice, Populous, won the architecture design competition for the $400 million main stadium in Incheon, Korea, for the 2014 Asian games. The 70,000 seat multipurpose stadium will be designed to later be changed to a single sided grandstand of 30,000-seats, within a park, after the Asian games. It will be located between Incheon international airport and Seoul, and will be the first landmark building people see when travelling to Seoul from the airport.
Populous will design the new stadium with the local firm Heerim Architects & Planners and will establish a team of at least 10 architects in Brisbane, the firm’s key Asian office, to work closely with Heerim in Incheon. Other projects by Populous include Suncorp stadium in Brisbane, the Yankees new stadium in New York and is designing the main stadium in London for the 2012 Olympic Games.
