The British architect Norman Foster who designed the new Wembley
has been selected to redesigned Barcelona's stadium the Nou
Camp.
'The proposal will not be similar to Wembley in terms of aesthetics
but will reflect its modernity and functionality,' Barca's director
of capital resources Joan Franquesa was quoted as saying on the
club's Website.
They said they hoped to transform the stadium into 'an iconic
element of the city.'
The estimated cost of the project is around 250 million euros and
it will reportedly increase the capacity to around 104,000.
Foster's other projects have included the restoration of the
Reichstag in Berlin, the Millennium Bridge in London, Hong Kong
Airport and the Millau viaduct in France
