Future Dome by night

The Future Dome is the name of an unrealised 303 meters high multifunctional sports and office complex to be built in Shanghai. The coneshaped building, which is a combination of a stadium and a skyscraper, would have a 350 meter diameter and a 1,1 kilometre long circumference. The base of the cone would form a stadium with a capacity of approximately 80.000. On top of this a smaller arena would be placed for use of tennis and boxingmatches. On top of this a theatre would be placed followed by levels with conference rooms, a large pool, a hotel and office spaces. The mega structure is estimated to be complete before Expo 2010, the World's Fair held in Shanghai.
