Text for the poster
The Vitra Ice Arena is an ice rink where people can skate or play winter sports. This includes ice hockey, figure skating or even exhibitions and contests for ice shows. The idea was inspired by Yuna Kim, who is a female figure skater that she mentioned there should be more ice arena in South Korea.
Mainly, The Vitra Ice Arena is used for ice hockey. The rink is surrounded by the fence that is made of translucent plastic. Ice on the rink is an artificial frozen material which is eco-friendly and harmless to human as well. There are overall 5 lines and 5 circles on the rink. The Vitra Ice Arena has a capacity of 70,000 people which is as big as soccer stadium. Also, there are 2 areas where people can grab some food or drink or even get a table and have dinner like in a restaurant. One is at the ground floor on the west side of the arena and the other one is at second floor where people have to book for a meal. The food court on the ground floor is a place where people can have food casually. They could have bear and hotdogs, fish & chips or anything casual. The restaurant on the second floor opens only when exhibitions or contests for ice shows come. It is expensive to book a table because it has got a very nice view from the top since every walls covered by glass and it has expensive food. There are 3 doors to get in The Vitra Ice Arena. One is at the front and the other two are at the back side of the building. One is for ice hockey players and the other one is emergency door. And there are 6 entrances to the rink. People can get in and out through the ways.
The Vitra Ice Arena is designed through many parts of its origin. For example, on the roof, it has got a cross shaped window where can be found on the top of Vitra Design Museum as well. Decisively, outline of Vitra Design Museum has remained the same except it has got bigger and used for another purpose.
Uses of colour seem cool and icy. The roof is light gray iron and the main materials are white concrete. There are 2 blue highlights which converts feeling of the building much colder. Also use of red colour on the player’s seat gives a sense of energy and passion.
