DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE ARENAS OPENING 2015


Copenhagen Arena Copenhagen, Denmark


A team led by Denmark-based 3XN Architects has won an international design competition for the develop- ment of a new indoor arena complex in the Ørestad area of Copenhagen. HKS Architects, Arup Sport, ME Engineers and Planit form part of the team, with the facility to be divided into a plinth and a top under the suc- cessful Copenhagen Arena proposals. The design of the plinth element allows for the creation of a number of spaces and niches to be used for rec- reational purposes and for regulating the movement of spectators. The top of the 35,000sq m (376,740sq ft) building will boast a semi-transparent wave-like façade made of yellow terracotta and glass, allowing light to reach the foyer and people on the outside to glimpse the activities taking place on the inside. Due for completion during the sec- ond half of 2015, Copenhagen Arena will be able to cater for 15,000 peo- ple standing or 12,500 seated.
