The design competition offered an exciting opportunity to upgrade both the fabric and functionality of the Globen Arena building, but more importantly, enhance the experience for the spectators and audience who use and visit the building.
Our proposal demonstrated a functional approach to scale down the arena for different sporting and entertainment events. With this compression, the sound, acoustics and lighting systems proportionally contract to achieve four principal operational modes.
Our approach was inspired by the extraordinary landscape of Sweden, aiming to balance elements which will helped us to wrap; to enclose: to illuminate and to enhance the experience of both spectators and players within the arena.
Our entry was a runner up in the competition.
