The Aviva Stadium’s unique, undulating roof is made of clear polycarbonate glass, designed not just for aesthetics, but to protect nearby neighborhoods from excessive noise and shadows. It curves like a ripple, adapting to the sloping cityscape around it while allowing maximum sunlight to reach the pitch. The roof gives the stadium a luminous glow during daytime matches and turns it into a glowing shell at night. With its commitment to sustainability and neighborhood harmony, Aviva is a masterclass in using glass to balance community, design, and spectacle.
