Chisinau Arena is a complex occupying 100.000 sqm land area in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova and it is the main sport and entertainment facility in the city. The project consists of a basketball arena, an aqua center, and a tennis club. These three functions are connected by a plaza in the center. The space and the infrastructure are organized flexibly to allow for many different types of events and performances to take place. The arena is wrapped by a folded perforated shell, controlling the sunlight while creating in-between public spaces and giving a characteristic image to the building. While the shell structure is touching to the ground level, openings are functioning as big windows to emphasize entrances and to give view to different facades of the building.
