The goal was to create a new, open sports and recreational multipurpose athletics stadium and public park for sports enthusiasts and city dwellers who want to relax. its continuous use as a multipurpose event area and its renewable geothermal energy system. In terms of reducing environmental impact, instead of car traffic, public transport solutions and pedestrian cycling are systematically preferred. The structural supporting structure of the stadium is a unique stretched roof structure made with optimized steel consumption, only functionally most important areas of the building’ s interiors are heated in the order of 10 % of the total floor area. Taking these sustainability aspects into account, the new“ Open Arena” in Budapest was designed by NAPUR Architect Kft. in 2024 taking into account both engineering, construction and operational aspects.
