The former Spotify Camp Nou, designed by architects Francesc Mitjans, José Soteras, and Lorenzo García Barbón, is an iconic stadium with a privileged view of the pitch and a timeless uniqueness, making it a revered facility for many years.
Now, with the ongoing remodling, it will become a covered stadium and state-of-the-art facilities for nearly 105,000 spectators. The new Espai Barça project will maintain its Mediterranean character, openness, and spacious terraces – hallmarks of the architectural design by Nikken Sekkei, the Japanese studio that won the international architecture competition in 2016.
