Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
The suggested design appears bright and inviting with a poetic reading of the location where a clear crown along with roof and façade folds characterise the building with a striking contrast to the existing buildings. Functionally, the proposal is assessed to have solved the stadium design issue well, but the design is assessed to be inconveniently complex both in terms of architecture, but in particular technically where several issues are found to be unsolved or not sufficiently buildable.
The design concept is clear, but also prohibits the robustness of the project which is assessed not to be sufficient in respect of any future further processing, and the proposal has not clearly used the financial framework as a basis.
The organisation presented is assessed to be good and competent, including a thoroughly prepared and convincing process and method description. In addition, the fee is evaluated as average and within the expected margin for the performance of the work.
The proposal has a distinct main concept whereby the stadium is located in a clearing in the forest. The proposal suggests folding of the façade, and the roof surface is orchestrated as a "crown" on the stadium. The folds create – in particular seen from a bird's eye view – an iconic stadium with a unique character and a three-dimensional experience. Upon arrival from Stadion Allé, the building stands out in relation to the forest with the "crown" in focus. The project takes as its starting point a simple idea unfolding to a complex concept. The new stadium seems overwhelming with the large "crown" which almost takes over in comparison to the existing buildings and thus dominates too much as compared to the existing building.
