== Design ==
Estádio Municipal de Aveiro Stadium has an ambitious design that 
combines a simple and endearing shape with a liveliness of colours of 
every kind throughout the entire stadium. Therefore, the stadium conveys
 a sensation of jolliness that has a positive effect on the celebration 
of sports events.It was the intuition of architect Tomás Taveira
 to introduce intense tonality colours to the exterior of the stadium 
and to subsequently give a feeling of motion and a spectacular visual 
effect. Therefore, the stadium resembles a big toy for children with 
lots a coloured parts gathered together.
The stadium's polychromy and dynamism is also reflected on the 
interior where four tribunes contain a curvilinear profile and 
multicoloured seats that characterize the stadium. The seats have 
different colours that are distributed in a random way. Red, green, 
yellow, blue, white, and black seats offer an original and chromatic 
animation and a strong feeling of dynamism and cheerfulness - even when 
the stadium is empty it looks as if the party has already started.The 
intentional use of different colours is also reflected in the most 
detailed aspects, from the entrance gates, to the pillars and supporting
 beams. Even the walls at the inner ambience are coloured.
The roof also contributes to the harmonization process by making the 
stadium look like a big toy. It contains sharply red steel pylons that 
uphold sky-blue edges. From a more formal point of view, the slightly 
waved roof unifies the curved course of the underlying tribunes that 
offer a view over the pylons and its steel tie-beams.
