Architects want to turn the World Cup stadiums in cheap housing

2014 World Cup ended in July and most of the 12 stadiums constructed for the event will be forgotten now. Designed to accommodate large audiences, the stadiums will now receive a few thousand fans per game â€" as happened in Portugal in the Euro 2004, with the stadiums in Aveiro, Coimbra, Leiria and Algarve.

To try that not all bad news, the architects Axel of Stampa and Sylvain Macaux launched the Football House project, which led them to imagine housing units in the existing structures of the stadiums â€" as you can see in the pictures below.

According to the architects, which are part of the 1Week1Project project, the dwellings would be accessible to all and installed between the pillars of cement placed in the perimeter around the stadiums â€" an unused space.

In this plan, the architects kept the original function of the stadiums â€" serve as venue for football matches â€" and reserve some percentage of the money from tickets for maintenance of residential units.

According to Inhabitat, the Brazil prepares to decide what to do with the buildings built for the World Cup. Many of them temporary, will be dismantled, or reused. There are others that will simply be demolished and some people argue that if transformed into stadiums public parks â€" an unbelievable idea, taking into account your overall cost.
