the ‘tampere central deck and arena
’ –still in its design process status– is planned to sit on top of existing railway tracks. studio libeskind has proposed a circular-formed ice hockey arena clad in a dynamic contrast of materials which will inherently host events; its pivotal function to serve as a hub for diverse urban activities. this sporting venue will only occupy one fifth of the overall site and be integrated with a practice field, wellness center and also a variety of retail and commercial outlets. on the other hand, the neighboring buildings soar as geometric shard-like towers and will feature four office blocks topped by residential towers and a hotel with residential condominiums on top.

the geometric towers will host offices, condominiums and also a hotel

the ground levels will host public and retail opportunities to enliven the area

the arena, which occupies one fifth of the complex, has the capacity to accommodate 11,000 spectators

there is a total of approximately 60,000 m2 of mixed-use program area and 38,000 m2 of arena space

the masterplan is set to be built in tampere, finland
