Barca used the stadium's 50th anniversary to confirm that they would be undertaking a third major renovation of the arena.
In 1981 and 1994, the club overhauled the stadium and now they have hired Sir Norman Foster - the man who designed the new Wembley - to draw up the latest plans for the reworking of Camp Nou.
The whole scheme will cost an estimated £210million and to help pay for the building work, Barca will sell off their Mini Estadi, the current reserve team stadium.
"If Barca is more than a club, then Sir Norman Foster is more than an architect," said Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
"The Camp Nou will be an architectural world reference point. The new design respects the original and ties in with Catalan tradition and from a football point of view it'll be a pressure cooker for visitors."
The building work which will start in 2009 and last for three years, will include expanding the capacity to 104,000 - cementing its position as the biggest stadium in Europe.
