Arup and David Chipperfield Architects today unveiled the architectural design behind Milan’s new sustainable MSG Arena, at a press launch including Milan mayor Giuseppe Sala.
During the launch, German event giant CTS Eventim presented the design of the new flexible 16,000-seat capacity arena, one of the country’s largest multipurpose space which will play host to the city’s 2026 Winter Olympics and will then be used for large concerts and festivals.
Designed by Arup and David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, the arena is wrapped in three stacked shimmering aluminium rings. Connected by light, transparent glass bands, the different heights appear to float during the day, coming alive at night with LED strips to showcase the range of sports and cultural events.
