📌@officialheatherwickstudio and @manicaarchitecture win the competition to design Birmingham City Football Club’s new 62,000-seat stadium, the centrepiece of the upcoming Birmingham Sports Quarter in East Birmingham. The proposal anchors the project in the city’s industrial heritage, drawing from Birmingham’s brickmaking legacy and its identity as the “City of a Thousand Trades.” The steep bowl pulls fans as close to the pitch as regulations allow, creating an intense 360-degree wall of spectators. A retractable roof and movable pitch adapt the venue for major matches, concerts, and large-scale events. Twelve brick “chimneys” form the stadium’s defining silhouette, supporting the roof, enhancing acoustics, enabling passive ventilation, and recalling the site’s long history of brick production. One chimney will house a lift to what is planned as Birmingham’s highest bar, with views stretching across the city. At ground level, the design extends far beyond matchday, proposing a public realm of markets, cafés, play spaces, and everyday gathering points. The project positions the stadium as an active civic landscape and a catalyst for regeneration in East Birmingham. 👩‍🎓Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! 📸@devisualchina, @mir.no and Heatherwick Studio #SportsQuarter #ThePowerhouse #Birmingham #BCFC #EastBirmingham
