Malatya Stadium

Enabling works for this stadium in eastern Turkey began back in 2012, though actual construction progressed in 2013. Not exactly within the city of Malatya, rather in its eastern outskirts, along a new express road, just beside the new İnönü University campus.

Created for a city famous for its apricot export, the stadium can be taken as inspired by these fruits. From early drawings it had a double-layered outer wrap, part white and part orange, the white one wrapping around orange and leaving a small semi-opened area in the south. This is the most exposed and most frequented access route to the stadium.
