Stadionul Silviu Ploesteanu Construction images part three

July 29: With the main stand facilities in place, focus turns to the eastern stand. Pillars in the corners are installed, dimensions are finalised and the location of the stairs is mapped out.

July 30: Over the course of the project, I went throough several roof proposals. This is part of the work on one of them, which would have featured a near flat roof that arced up near pitch level. Seen here is where the lighting would have been attached.

July 31: Some landscaping work underneath the eastern stand. A number of parking spaces for VIPs.

August 1: I had maintained a pretty frenetic pace up to this point, and was starting to feel a little worn down. Real life was getting in the way a little bit too, so I wanted to work on something a little different. Part of the brief called for the venue to be capable of hosting concerts, so here is work on a set for a generic "Brasov Festival". Fortunately, Google Translate tells me that's the same in English and Romanian.

August 1: Further work on the set, featuring two additional video boards. These would end up making a return for the half-court setup in a future edition.

August 1: A look at the concert stage in position. It would look really nice during the day with the mountain setting behind it. You can see part of the roofing proposal above.

August 2: I still didn't feel like working on anything substantive (I blame the work on the roof - that was really tiring and frustrating). To counteract that, I instead focused on colouring the seating in. A pretty basic bit of text there, with a simplified silhouette of the club logo beside it.

August 2: A look towards the western stand. The pattern gets darker the further around the seating goes.

August 2: A look back inside of the stadium, showing the seating in position. I would eventually end up redoing the text, flipping the colours from black to yellow so that it features a black background. Fits better with the rest of the venue.

August 2: Another view from inside the stadium.

August 4: Work on the stadium hotel. Located to the south of the existing structure in the western corner, it fits seamlessly with the existing structure.

August 4: A view from within one of the hotel rooms.

August 4: Work on the interior of the the existing structure, featuring the ticket office, club shop, restaurant and bar.

August 4: Exterior view of the hotel and club shop.

August 5: Looking in towards the club shop.

August 5: The corrected pattern on the hotel, bringing it in line with the rest of the building.
