About the project
The design of the new SCA Arena Sports and Concert Complex in St. Petersburg follows the tradition of the unique era of constructivism, and applies its expressive, open design language to a contemporary context: the filigree framework of its construction, based on Tatlin's “Monument to the Third International”, refers to the flowing, dynamic movement of a person skating around the stadium. Without changing the planning of the existing Arena, a second, structural layer is created, which serves as a supporting structure for the overlying, dynamically cantilevered roof. This creates a covered arcade that is protected from sun, rain, and wind, and can also be used to shelter shops and lounge zones. The roof of the building is shaped like a flattened dome and is equipped with LED lights that will be visible from afar.
