MEIS architects
Saitama Super Arena Saitama, Japan 2000
The symbolic heart of Saitama Prefecture, the Saitama Super Arena and Master Plan is the central element of a major mixed-use entertainment complex. The $750M complex is a striking visual demonstration of Japanese technology coupled with the latest in American design. A convertible domed stadium, the building is capable of transforming from a 10,000-seat arena to a 35,000-seat stadium. Saitama Arena was selected as one of the world’s 50 best buildings in 2001. Dan Meis’ design was selected as the result of an international competition.
