SUMMARY SUMMARY
The Colosseum Shell Structure is a visionary concept that reinterprets Rome’s architectural heritage through innovative shell construction.
Designed as a modern civic arena, the structure draws inspiration from the strength and elegance of natural forms, exploring how thin-shell architecture can redefine monumental public space. The sweeping, interlocking shells express fluidity and rhythm, reflecting the historic grandeur of the original Colosseum while embracing a futuristic aesthetic. By merging structural efficiency with artistic form, this project celebrates the potential of lightweight architecture to inspire, perform, and endure.
