Located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city centre to the north-east, the new stadium forms part of a master plan for the region called La Rinconada, which is located towards south-west of Venezuela’s capital.
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners lead partner for the project Simon Smithson said: "The hillside site created an unusual challenge and the design reflects this with terraces cut into the landscape giving way to a series of floating esplanades that provide access to the various levels of stadium."
The new football stadium will be built within the park together with a new baseball stadium, while retaining an existing racecourse designed by Californian architect Arthur Froehlich in the 1950s.

In addition, the master plan includes a new transport interchange between the bus station and the existing metro and train station, while a new metropolitan park will be established to protect the surrounding hillsides from further development.
