Slovenian architectural firm OFIS Arhitekti has nearly completed construction on a spaceship stadium for local football team FC Bate Borisov in Belarus. Clad in a glistening aluminium shell and covered with irregular shaped cutouts, the so-called "Spotty Stadium" is a futuristic rendition of modern stadium design. According to the architects, the unique exterior is intended to resemble a perforated cloth stretched over the building's low, elliptical skeleton.

Although the exterior of the stadium is certainly eye-catching thanks to the assortment of blob-shaped holes that cover the building, the building's unique design is more than just aesthetic.
