#Welt! Bist du noch da?

#Windparks

Im Urlaub bin ich oft und durch viele geradelt. Dort habe ich beobachten können, wie elegant, große #Wildgänseschwärme zwischen den #Rotoren durchflogen um sich auf den #Wiesen zu Ruhe zu begeben. Ebenfalls habe ich eine Menge #Greifvögel, vom #Milan, über den #Habicht bis zum #Falken in den Parks gesehen. Dies ist jetzt keine wissenschaftliche Erhebung, aber ich beobachte schon , dass die Tiere immer besser mit den #Windrädern zurechtkommen.

Ich habe sogar #Krähen beobachten können, welche mit den #Flügeln der Räder spielten und sich vom #Sog in die #Höhe ziehen ließen.

Darauf einen #Kaffee.

Bleibt senkrecht und gesund!

#Manchester’s ranking at number 28 sounds even more impressive when you realise we have beaten out some real European heavy-hitters such as Spain’s cities of #Barcelona (35) and #Madrid (43), and Italy’s northern gem #Milan (49), as well as other global tourist hotspots like the US city of #NewYork at 51, and China’s capital #Beijing at 71.”

And #1? Once again, my fave city on Earth, oh, #Vienna! 🇦🇹

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.

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."

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.

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.
