Arena das Dunas, Football stadium in Lagoa Nova, Natal, Brazil
The Arena das Dunas features a modern design with twenty petal-shaped modules that create an efficient system for natural ventilation and shade protection.
The stadium replaced the former Machadão venue in 2014, becoming one of the primary locations for the FIFA World Cup matches that same year.
The 22,000-square-meter outdoor plaza surrounding the stadium serves as a central location for markets, concerts, and community gatherings in Natal.
The venue maintains a regular capacity of 31,375 seats, with additional temporary seating available to accommodate up to 42,000 spectators for major events.
The structure incorporates a rainwater collection system through specialized gutters that direct water to underground storage tanks for irrigation and facility maintenance.
