English Football club Forest Green Rovers have proposed to build a stadium made almost entirely out of timber. It has designed by Zaha Hadid Architects -- the firm behind the London Aquatics Centre, which was built for the 2102 Olympics. Located just outside the town of Stroud in western England, Forest Green's new home intends to complement the surrounding meadow landscape, as this computer-generated image depicts.

Wood is not only naturally occurring, but offers a durable and sustainable alternative to concrete or steel. Forest Green chairman Dale Vince says the new ground will be "the greenest football stadium in the world."
