The Berlin studio of David Chipperfield Architects and engineering firm Arup have revealed the Santa Giulia arena in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Designed as the centrepiece of the new Milano Santa Giulia city district, the 12,000-seat arena will host ice hockey events during the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will take place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
David Chipperfield Architects and Arup are designing the Santa Giulia arena
Located a few kilometres from Milan's city centre, the Milano Santa Giulia district was masterplanned by Foster + Partners in 2006. It will contain a mix of residential, education, commercial and leisure buildings, alongside a park and the arena.
David Chipperfield Architects and Arup designed the elliptical arena to reference traditional amphitheatres, while the neighbouring piazza will be used for outdoor events.
"The elliptical form of the building is inspired by the archetype of the amphitheatre, being reinterpreted with modern tectonics and materials," said David Chipperfield Architects.
"The strategic position of the arena creates a spacious piazza of over 10,000 square metres in the northern section of the site, which can also be used as a venue for outdoor events."
It will comprise three tiers surrounded by LED media screens
The arena, which will have capacity for 12,000 seated and 4,000 standing, will be used for concerts and events following the games.
It will be composed of a stack of three metallic levels surrounded by large LED media screens that illuminate the building at night. Separated by glass bands, the three tiers are designed to appear as though they are floating above each other.

It will be elevated on a podium, accessed by both a wide flight of steps as well as an entrance cut into one of its street-level edges.
Lined with trees, these entrance areas will be designed to resemble "a green hilly landscape" and counterbalance "the hard materiality of the podium", the studio explained.
The stadium's exterior will be complete with photovoltaic roof panels to produce electricity that will "largely covers the needs of the energy-efficient building", according to David Chipperfield Architects.
It will be raised on a tree-lined podium
Inside, there will be two tiers of seating above the main floor of the area. There will also be a level with lounges and skyboxes.
All the seating will be made accessible via large lobbies at each floor level, where there will be catering facilities among other services.
Elsewhere in Milan, Populous is currently designing a stadium called the Cathedral for football clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan to replace the iconic San Siro stadium.
David Chipperfield Architects was founded by British architect David Chipperfield in London in 1985. Today it has studios in Berlin, Milan and Shanghai.
The firm is currently renovating Jenners department store in Edinburgh and recently completed a theatre for a cultural district in Jingdezhen.

David Chipperfield Architects has built a theatre and hotel complex in Jingdezhen, China, as part of a masterplan to revive a former porcelain factory district.
The London-based studio's Berlin office developed the Ceramic Art Avenue Taoxichuan masterplan for the city known as China's porcelain capital.
The project involved transforming an entire urban block close to the city centre into a cultural district that celebrates the city's unique industrial heritage.
Taoxichuan Grand Theatre is one of several new buildings on the site
Former factory buildings on the site have already been converted to create a museum, a ceramics market and porcelain shops, and David Chipperfield Architects is also building a music academy.
With the completion of the Taoxichuan Grand Theatre and the hotel complex – which includes two hotels and an events venue – the renewal of the site is almost complete.
According to David Chipperfield Architects, the ambition behind Ceramic Art Avenue Taoxichuan is "not only preserving and converting the existing buildings for reuse, but complementing the urban quarter with new buildings to gain a contemporary presence".
The site includes a complex of four hotel buildings
The designs for the new buildings reference the industrial architecture of the old porcelain factories.
All of these buildings prominently feature brickwork, referencing the materiality of the old warehouses. But the bricks are often arranged as perforated screens, which gives them a more decorative quality.
Pedestrian walkways are a key element of the masterplan
The buildings are all linked by a boulevard and a pedestrian promenade, to encourage visitors to explore the whole site.
The Taoxichuan Grand Theatre incorporates two venues, a classical opera house and a black box theatre.
Mushroom-shaped columns characterise the theatre building
The building is characterised by huge mushroom-shaped columns that frame the main foyer. Located both in front of and behind the glazed facade, they support a monumental, projecting concrete roof.
The interior of the foyer is also concrete, with tactile details like timber-lined surfaces and a wall of glass blocks.
A wall of glass blocks frames the foyer
The curved form of the horseshoe-shaped opera house is visible from the street and also extends into the foyer. Its 1,200-seat auditorium is lined with walnut veneer and framed by three balcony levels.
"With this classical European format, the auditorium reflects the meaningful connectedness of audience and performers as one community who jointly experience an artistic performance as a singular, authentic live event as opposed to today's digital environment," said David Chipperfield Architects.

The black box theatre has a more contemporary feel, with a flexible and mobile stage setup.
The space is lined in blackened wood and can be opened up to facilitate open-air performances.

Located immediately south of the theatre complex, the hotel complex is made up of four buildings plus a former dormitory that has been converted into apartments.
All four of the new buildings have a similar aesthetic, with brick walls, deep-set windows and recessed balconies.
The hotel buildings are a linked by a steel and glass structure
They are connected at ground level by a more lightweight structure built from steel and glass, which ties the entrances together and makes it easier to navigate the site. This space can also be used for public exhibitions and activities.
The hotel buildings are organised around open-air courtyard gardens, while the events block contains a series of flexible function rooms.

"The semi-transparent facades of the function rooms and the perforated balustrades of the hotel balconies act as a filter between private and public areas," said David Chipperfield Architects.
"The staggered brick columns bring the overall building volume in relation to the human scale."
The Academy of Music is due to complete in 2022
Due to complete in 2022, the Academy of Music is under construction at the southern end of the Ceramic Art Avenue Taoxichuan site.
Set to include teaching facilities, recording studios and a 350-seat concert hall, the facility is being created within two former factory buildings that are being upgraded with new tiled roofs and a bold new interior layout.
The materials palette for this building includes maple veneer, pine wood and mastic asphalt.

David Chipperfield Architects has completed a number of projects in China to date, including the Liangzhu Culture Museum, the Xixi Wetland Estate and the Moganshan Road office block, all in Hangzhou.
Ceramic Art Avenue Taoxichuan is the studio's first project in Jingdezhen, a city where investment in culture has become a priority in recent years.
The Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum, designed by Studio Zhu-Pei, opened to fanfare in 2020, while the Sanbaopeng Art Museum, designed by DL Atelier, opened on the outskirts of the city in 2017.

Architecture firms David Chipperfield Architects and Zaha Hadid Architects have announced they are halting work on projects in Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
David Chipperfield Architects said it "condemns the actions of [Russian president Vladimir] Putin" and is suspending all its work in Russia as a result.
Among its ongoing projects in the country is the renovation of the Central Telegraph building in Moscow.
Zaha Hadid Architects has also paused work on its projects in Russia, telling Dezeen it is "shocked and saddened by the conflict" that began on 24 February.
The move by the two British practices comes a day after a similar announcement by Dutch studio MVRDV.
Yesterday, MVRDV announced that it was stopping work on its five projects in Russia, stating that it stands "in solidarity with all the people who are defying and protesting against this war".
"We call for an immediate end to this human tragedy"
David Chipperfield Architects, which has offices in London, Berlin, Milan and Shanghai, said its clients were understanding of its decision.
"Given the invasion of Ukraine, and with the full understanding and support of our clients, David Chipperfield Architects has decided to suspend all work in Russia," the studio said in a statement.
"We condemn the actions of Putin and the Russian government and stand in solidarity with Ukraine and its people," it added.
"As a practice we believe in dialogue, openness and engagement; values that are directly opposed to the ongoing war. We call for an immediate end to this human tragedy and our thoughts are with the innocent victims of this unjustified action."

Zaha Hadid Architects, which has worked on numerous projects in Russia, said it was "deeply shocked and saddened" by the situation in Ukraine and was stopping work in the country.
"ZHA has worked in Russia for four decades," the studio said. "Zaha Hadid was originally inspired by works of the Russian avant-garde and many of our staff have taught architecture students at universities across the country."

"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the conflict in Ukraine and have placed our two ongoing projects in Russia on hold," it added.
"We have completed our contracted works on all other projects in the country and continue to monitor guidance from the UK Government."
Among Zaha Hadid Architects' Russia projects is the Klenoviy Boulevard Station 2 in Moscow that is being built as part of an expansion of the city's metro system, pictured above, and the Sberbank Technopark in Moscow.
Architecture organisations release statements supporting Ukraine
Architecture organisations have come out in protest against the invasion, with the National Union of Architects of Ukraine calling upon the International Union of Architects to expel the Union of Architects of Russia from the organisation.
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has also commented, stating: "Our thoughts are with all those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has exposed the horrific effects of conflict on communities, and put the role that architecture plays in building resilient, collaborative and inclusive societies into sharp relief."
Meanwhile, over 6,500 Russian architects have signed an open letter condemning the invasion, saying the country's architects and urban planners consider it "unacceptable."
