This week on Dezeen, American studio Manica Architecture revealed its design for a stadium for the Chicago Bears football team featuring a translucent roof and a glass-curtain wall at its entrance.
The stadium, which set to be located along Lake Michigan in Chicago, will function as a multi-purpose recreational campus and also host concerts and other sporting events.
It was criticised by preservationists due to its site, which is located by a protected waterfront. Manica expects to break ground on the stadium in the summer of 2025, with an opening slated for 2028.
