Thus, converting this historic diamond back again into a thriving node within the community and at the same time bearing design significance to set it apart on a global stage. 2 Going forward, as a monument to the future of Rio, we take sustainability seriously, especially now, since we are faced with a global health crisis, forcing us to deliberate on the nature of large congregations, crowd dynamics, safety and security and now also, contagion within crowds. The stadium will be equipped with “smart-access” nodes, monitoring the crowd streams, breaking down the influx of crowd movements into more controlled flows, smart way- finding, digitized concessions and betting boxes etc. Disability access is also central to the design of the bowl and the public arena. The heart of the project is a new public arena podium, which serves as the main concourse and stadium spill-out. It is built as a multiplied ground plane, over the existing São Januário Aquatic Centre. At its center is the old chapel known as Capela de Nossa Senhora das Vitórias retained on the ground but made an active urban focal point, as if like at the center of an old European town. In the same way, the roofscape too, becomes an additional façade to our stadium complex, and a new public and amenity ground. Envisioning a Sustainable Future for Rio We also welcome the prospect of an extended line of the cable car network supporting and connecting Estádio São Januário to the rest of Rio in the near future. 3 Brief SJ = 61,091.51 sq.m.

Primarily associated with football, the stadium has a separate political history of its own after being the location of many speeches by Getúlio Vargas who acted as Brazil’s dictator between 1930 and 1945. The stadium was at that time the largest in South America, and though it lost that status quickly, it remained the largest in Brazil until the opening of Pacaembu in 1940. In the 1930s and 1940s São Januário regularly hosted the Brazilian national team and it was one of the two playing venues at the 1949 Copa América. However, since the completion of Maracaña in 1950 the stadium has had to settle with only two international friendlies in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The facade of the main stand is listed as municipal heritage. In 2007 a statue of Romário was erected right behind the goal in which he scored his 1000th goal ever. The stadium has hardly changed over the years, though it recently underwent a refurbishment of its interior, VIP areas, and seating areas. The capacity of the Stadium is 24,584 and it is the third biggest Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The stadium was used for Libertadores Cup 1998 finals. The stadium is often referred to by several names by supporters with Estádio São Januário – the name of the street the ground is located on being the most traditional. Estádio Vasco da Gama has risen in popularity in recent years as it refers not only to the team wider neighbourhood, but Estádio da Colina (Hill’s Stadium) due to its location next to the National Observatory of Brazil also a popular informal name. Estádio Vasco da Gama is famous for being one of a handful of soccer stadiums in the world which contain the dug-outs and technical 9 Source: stadiumguide.com areas located behind one of the goals. Usually these are always located at one side of the pitch near the half-way line. 10 1927 1928 In 1925, the club campaigned for fans to become members and raised 685 contos and 895 thousand reis for the purchase of the land and 2,000 contos for the construction of the largest stadium in South America. The mobilization occurred as a response to the clubs elitists of the time who did not accept playing against black and poor athletes who made up the cruzmaltina team. Opened on April 21, 1927, it still didn't have a curved grandstand. On March 31, 1928, with the grandstand in a curve completed, São Januário became the first Brazilian stadium to be able to host night games. Vasco's friendly against Wanderes, from Uruguay, marked the inauguration of the spotlights. In this game, won 1-0 by the home team, the Ponta Santana scored the first Olympic goal that is known in Brazil. According to historians, the São Cristóvão neighbourhood was chosen by Vasco because it has characteristics similar to its founding location, in the city's port area. In addition, the site had a large Portuguese colony that was formed in the region since the arrival of the Royal Family at Quinta da Boa Vista. Over the years, the São Januário complex received improvements that allowed the club to join other sports besides rowing and football. Tennis, volleyball and basketball courts already existed at the opening. A water park was created and for a while there was an athletics track around the lawn.
