We are delighted that the modernisation of the Avicii Arena has been awarded the Swedish Steel Construction Award by the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction.
Together with HOK and C.F. Møller Architects, schlaich bergermann partner contributed to the precise and technically sophisticated transformation of this iconic spherical arena.
schlaich bergermann partner was responsible for modernising the original supporting structure, integrating a new supporting structure consisting of a compression ring and a pringle shaped cable-net structure hosting the new retractable acoustic system and fully accessible rigging grid. The highly efficient cable-net structure now carries all movable panels and rigging elements – while its walkable surface creates a safe and sustainable platform for future event technology.
