DescriptionAl-Marekh Stadium Omdurman Sudan 1964 Designed by Abdel-Moneim Mustafa 6.jpg
Al-Marekh Stadium, Omdurman, Sudan 1964. Designed by Abdel-Moneim Mustafa. The main concept was inspired from the use of a cost-effective method to construct a stadium that represents a landmark. The playing field level is – 4 meters while the highest level is 7 meters from the ground floor. So the concept focused on the use of the ground topography as part of the design and construction to create the stands for the lower part of the stadium.

Find & Tell Elsewhere is an initiative of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal that uses a post-custodial approach to make visible and available for research previously inaccessible architectural archives and to support local historians and researchers in sharing their work globally. The pilot project is a collaboration with the custodians of the papers of the Sudanese architect Abdel-Moneim Mustafa (b. 1930) to examine his significant interventions in Khartoum and surroundings, and his role in the architecture of nation building in Sudan. Digitization and photography by the Technocon Engineering Consultancies (Engineer Yahya Moh. Salih, Engineer Elmigdad Bannaga and Architect Dina Ahmed Awad Yousif) in Sudan with the support of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA).
