In 1985 the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust decided to develop a new football stadium with a capacity for 40,000 people.
Awarded the commission via a competition win in 1985, Arup provided structural and civil engineers for the project. The key design challenges included the creation of a stadium that would be the equal of its global peers, remaining sympathetic to its location and providing a solution that remained financially attractive to the client.
Moving to London, we explore our work on the Broadgate ice rink. Broadgate is now a major financial services hub in the CIty of London. The first four phases of development at Broadgate have been designed by Arup Associates and provide a total built area of 154,000m2. The ice rink will form a place of interest for the development, forming an amphitheatre across four floors and is surrounded by terraces and colonnades.
