AECOM | 2012 | Salt Lake City, UT | Project Designer
Our studio was asked to assist the San Francisco team with what began as a planning study for the existing Energy Solutions Arena. After speaking with the client and evaluating their wants and needs, it was determined a renovation and addition would be required to fulfill their requests. The client requested a stronger street presence, private access for VIPs, and a media wall for advertising and financial return as well as other programmatic additions. During this two-week exercise, working closely with a colleague under senior leadership, we designed, modeled, and rendered the addition and site updates. The exterior shell is a mostly transparent skin and roof that yields to the inner media wall wrapping around two facades of the existing building creating the requested advertising and graphics potential. The form gives the requested street presence and creates multiple plazas and entry ways into the new atrium space opening the building to the existing urban fabric beyond in one fluid move.
