Until May 2006, Highbury used to be the stadium of Arsenal Football Club. With the club's departure to Emirates Stadium, Highbury was left. Instead of knocking down the stadium and selling the land, architects have redesigned the stands so that the stadium can have a new purpose. With major redevelopment Arsenal Stadium is being converted into apartments, in a project known as 'Highbury Square'. East Stand and the matching West Stand are being preserved and incorporated into the new developments. The pitch meanwhile will become a communal garden.
As can be seen from the pictures, it looks magnificent. What can be taken from this as a designer is if you are given something to work from, magnificent results can be achieved to show great innovation.
