Description
Cape Town Stadium's abstract, linear design and flat roof shape emulates the surrounding Cape Town landscape, complementing the mountainous terrain rather than detracting from it. A unique combination of steel, cables, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) mesh and glass forms the structure's sleek tensile roof, an essential aesthetic and functional component of the athletic facility.
