Aarhus Football Stadium PPP project in Denmark

project awarded

The project involves the construction of a new Aarhus football stadium in the city’s Marselisborg forest, Aarhus, Denmark. The new Aarhus Stadium is based on the design concept called Titled the “Arena of the Forest”, which is informed by the vertical rhythm of the surrounding trees that reach up to 47m in height. The design is presented as a continuation of the forest, the verticality of which continues in the public colonnades of the stadium and the wooden ribs of its façade.The large horizontal volume of the stadium is divided into human scales, while the transparent roof provides protection from the weather and increases the level of comfort in the adjacent external areas, as well as in the internal lobbies. The roof represents a protected 360-degree public circulation route.
