The BVB (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan) Stadium in Bengaluru represents another landmark project where zinc was chosen for its versatility and robustness. The architects behind the stadium aimed to create a structure that was both functional for sports events and aesthetically striking, with a façade that would endure the city’s fluctuating weather conditions. VMZINC’s ANTHRA-ZINC finish was selected for the project due to its sleek, dark appearance and proven ability to resist corrosion in challenging environments.
The use of zinc in the BVB Stadium highlights its adaptability to large-scale public projects. Zinc’s flexibility allowed the architects to create dynamic, flowing lines that accentuate the stadium’s form. The standing seam system was utilized to ensure a smooth, continuous surface, contributing to the stadium’s bold, futuristic aesthetic.
Moreover, the zinc façade provides thermal efficiency, ensuring that the building remains cool even under the intense heat of Bengaluru’s summers. This combination of energy efficiency, low maintenance, and striking design has made the BVB Stadium a standout example of how zinc façades can enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of sports infrastructure in India.
