Moses Mabhida Stadium (Durban, South Africa: 2010 World Cup) The grandiose steel arch stretching over this stadium, inspired by the “Y” in the South African flag, could also stand in as a metaphor of continuity and reuse, since this stadiums has become a Durban icon. With seating shaded to resemble water flowing into the ocean and a covering of Teflon-coated glass fiber that glows when lit against the night sky, it strikes quite a profile. Attendees can take it all in and ride a funicular to the apex of the arch. Photo by Marcus Bredt Search “impressions from south africa” from Well-Designed World Cup Stadiums
