“I knew nothing about football” says Souto de Moura when designing Braga stadium



Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura reveals he had no prior knowledge of football or stadium design when he was invited to design the Braga Municipal Stadium, in the second video in a series produced by Dezeen.

Speaking in the second instalment of the video series, Souto de Moura explained that he was invited to design the stadium for the UEFA Euro 2004 despite having no prior experience of designing sports venues – or even a strong knowledge of football.

“I can say it was the project I most enjoyed working on,” he said in the video. “When I was awarded the stadium I knew nothing about football nor stadiums. But this is normal in architecture.”
