Craven Cottage, SW6
Home of Fulham FC, Craven Cottage is the one of the oldest and smallest grounds in the English Premier League. While league average attendance is around 35,000, the pitch, in West London, has a capacity of under 26,000. In addition to the tight boundaries of the site, expansion plans have been hindered by the "Johnny Haynes end" status as a grade II listed building. The best opportunity may be to rebuild the riverside stand: Adding capacity, amenities, and a better connection to the Thames. More radical positions could also be explored.
A stadium is an ideal site/program to explore previously discussed issues of material processes and simultaneous feedback. Additional parameters of sight-lines, acoustics, and egress can be explored in addition to initial investigations in lightweight "form-finding" structures.
