New 'Camp Nou'

The final results were presented last Friday. Between 10 proposals, the winning project was designed by Norman Foster and Partners. Among the competitors were names like Map Architects, Herzog&deMeuron, Ferrater and Sanaa.

"The world-famous firm of architects, Foster + Partners, is to undertake the remodelling of the stadium based on the initial concepts of Francesc Mitjans. The renovated stadium will stand as a piece of architecture in its own right and is certain to become an international architectural reference point for the 21st century. According to information released today, the whole building will be contained in a clearly defined space, with a unified external appearance. The additional spaces and facilities will be completely integrated, both functionally and architecturally." link
