Design Challenge

It was a challenge to create a modern multifuntional building on such a place - full of historical layers and social commitment. We wanted to create an emblematic building that would become a symbol of the city.

Research

The concept design went through analysis of variety of factors - international sports federations standards, local teams, terrain condiotions, budget etc. The main goal was to satisfy all the regulations in a magnificant architectural form. A large team of more than 30 designers, engineers and artists participated in the process.

Inspiration
