What does it take to design a modern multipurpose arena so it fits a complicated site plan, drives community engagement, supports a main sports tenant and, oh yeah, adheres to challenging funding models? HOK's Bill Johnson, FAIA, offers insights in a lively and honest Q&A with Flames Nation about the design evolution of Calgary's Scotia Place. "When the price of these buildings continued to get more and more expensive, the buildings had to take on a more multipurpose program because you really can’t justify the cost of the venues for just a single tenant," says Bill. "The problem with doing anything multipurpose is there’s an initial first cost to that. It’s not as simple. It’s not as straightforward. For a long time, owners were reluctant to spend the money to plan in flexibility and resiliency into the projects, but now they’re listening to us. They’re really doing it."

History is stacked with ambitious projects that never materialised. What seems like an inspirational idea in one age can later be interpreted (usually more correctly) as a vanity project, bereft of aesthetic value, economically unviable, and based on the fallacy that a project of sufficiently grand scale will become a legacy for grateful future generations to marvel at. And on a separate topic altogether, what about a new sports stadium on Auckland's waterfront? https://lnkd.in/ggTTm4Qy
