Description
The new home of the Cowboys will feature large inverted sloped wall which reduces solar heat gain and accommodates variable spans for mixed use applications of private and public spaces. The ends of the stadium feature large operable doors clad with a glass curtain wall system. The top of the structure incorporates an operable roof for natural day lighting and ventilation. To bring scale to the project natural cleft stone will be utilized at the main entrances along with jewel box glass features for displays and public space. Large multi-media elements have been melded into the facade design to take advantage of the marketing opportunities and announce future events.
