Cuiab谩 is located right in the middle of the South American land mass close to the Bolivian border and therefore hosts one of the hottest climates on the continent. Humidity is high, thunderstorms are common and summer temperatures can reach 40掳C. This inhospitable climate forced this new stadium to incorporate a number of innovative environmental design solutions. Remarkably for a stadium, this one makes extensive use of wood with certified timber louvers screening the vertical steel porch facades, providing shade and cross-ventilation. The four grandstands that make up each side of the stadium are separated by open corners that help aid airflow. Completion was seriously delayed by a fire last October and a construction worker鈥檚 death last month.
