“If a building (stadium or other kind) has an expressive design, a ‘key concept’, it becomes much easier to illustrate because you quickly discover what the aim of the project was, and it becomes much easier to communicate it,” Chiote told Dezeen.

Chiote choosed the diamond grid pattern that criss-crosses the rounded structure in or der to illustrate the Amazonia Arena in Manaus by GMP Arkitekten.

The way he represented and played with graphics with blue, yellow and green color showcases the host country’s flag. He said that, “So, as a national statement, I thought it was an interesting approach to use the colors of Brazil’s flag to produce iconic images of some new symbols of that country.” He also explained that what interests him about stadiums is “the capacity to become landmarks and city icons”.

“Also, usually, as they are exceptional buildings, architects and engineers develop innovative designs and technical solutions,” he added.
