Nicknamed the “Blue Volcano”, Njiric+ Arhitekti’s large stadium is designed to push the boundary of “human experiences of public spaces.” The overwhelming built form creates a presence in the city that distinguishes it as a new landmark for the area.  The stadium was conceived not as a building typology but rather as a topography. Using the natural undulation of the landscape, the new civic arena is housed within an artificial hill made of recycled rubber and blue pigment sprayed onto corrugated aluminium sheets.

The winners for the international architecture competition Extension Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland have been announced. The jury decided to award the project of Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein the 1st prize. The 2nd prize goes to fellow Swiss firm Diener & Diener. Both project teams have now been invited to further develop their very highly regarded proposals before the final decision will be made. Basel’s art museum urgently depends on an extension of its premises since consistent lack of space makes it currently impossible to exhibit numerous pieces of its renowned collection.
