The competition-winning design for Byens Scene in Ørestad rethinks public spaces surrounding key music venues. The proposal connects DR Koncerthuset, Bella Arena, and Royal Arena through a unifying 'crack' feature that encourages accessibility and greenery. Covering over 50,000 m², the project focuses on sustainability by aiming for minimal carbon emissions, using recycled materials, and implementing local water management systems. The redesigned areas will include tiered seating and microclimate niches to enhance experience and usability for local residents and visitors alike.
The winning proposal, titled 'The Impact', incorporates art and landscape architecture, reimagining the three sites as parts of a cohesive urban stage.
Central to the concept is a sculptural 'crack', a pavement cutout that opens up space for greenery, circulation, and gathering.
Covering over 50,000 m², the project is designed to achieve a carbon footprint of less than 0.1 kg CO₂ per m² per year.
In front of Bella Arena, the crack runs up the building façade, forming a series of green rooms with sunken beds, microclimate niches, and seating.
