Carved out of the complex’s sculptural volume, urban paths separate key program (arena, hotel, and school), drawing visitors directly into their desired destinations, while providing a fluid journey. Crossing the buildings is a circuitous roof path system that binds the complex together, and provides inspiring urban views from its numerous vantage points. In this sense, the arena has multiple purposes: not only is it a vital new city sports and culture institution, but a new city park, with a landscape that enhances city biodiversity, offering a new green space for its citizens.  

Stepping up from the urban level to the upper levels of the terraces is gradient of greenery. The lower terraces are replete with planting, but this retreats as you climb above the tree line, and meet the roof, creating a diverse environment, and softly separating the inaccessible roof areas from the urban path.
