Bristol Arena designs revealed
Following an announcement in November 2014 outlining five finalists shortlisted to design the £90m (US$135m, €119m) Bristol Arena, images of the proposals have now been revealed.
In the running to design the 12,000 capacity indoor entertainment venue are the following five teams:
- Grimshaw (with MANICA Architecture, Thornton Tomasetti, M-E Engineers and Neil Woodger Acoustics)
- IDOM (in collaboration with Foreman Roberts and Nagata Acoustics)- Populous (with Feilden Clegg Bradley, Buro Happold and Vanguardia)
- White Arkitekter (with Arup and Sandy Brown Acoustic Consultant)- Wilkinson Eyre (with Arup)
Between them, these architecture firms have designed some of the best stadiums of the last decade, including the Bilbao Arena (White Arkitekter) and the London Olympic Stadium (Populous).
The images released have not been linked to a particular team. According to the RIBA this is “to ensure anonymity and a fair competition”. So far SMG and Live Nation have been appointed to manage the arena, which is being funded by Bristol Council and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership.
