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.

Concept of my re-envision

The Veltins Arena in the German city of Gelsenkirchen


One of my favourite sports is Ice Hockey. By looking at this ground floor plan of Vitra Design Museum, I thought about Ice Hockey arena. Vitra Design Museum has fairly large area of itself and the way of the ground floor matches with Ice Hockey stadium.
Moreover, the building has second floor so that a seating capacity would be huge. There should also be food court, rest rooms, balcony stern walks and etc(more will be thought). I will go through this with changing of its form first and then start putting some appropriate materials on it. And if I need more areas for my re-envision, I will create some extra spaces.

Building Case Study

The site of Gehry's Dancing House was originally occupied by a house in the Neo-renaissance style from the end of the 19th century. That house was destroyed during bombing in 1945, its remains finally removed in 1960. The neighboring house (with a small globe on the roof) was co-owned by Czech ex-president Vaclav Havel, who lived there from his childhood until the mid-1990s. He ordered the first architectural study from Vlado Milunic (who has been involved in re-building Havel's appartment in the neighboring house). Afterwards the Dutch bank ING agreed to build a house there, and asked Milunic to invite a world-renowned architect. Milunic first asked Jean Nouvel, who rejected the invitation because of the small size of the site (491 square meters); he then asked Frank Gehry, who and he accepted the challenge. Gehry had an almost unlimited budget, because ING wanted to create an icon in Prague. The construction started in 1994 and the house was finished in 1996.




The building is an example of deconstructivist architecture, with an unusual shape. It reflects a woman and man (Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair) dancing together. Construction is from 99 concrete panels each of different shape and dimension, each therefore requiring a unique wooden form.

Its unusual shape and technical solutions caused a big public debate. After ten years emotions are over, and the house has its place in modern Prague. In 2005 the Czech National Bank issued a gold coin with the motif of the Dancing House, as the final coin of the series "10 Centuries of Architecture."
