The Alba Arena in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, which was inaugurated in April, has not only become the local ice hockey stronghold, but also an icon of the city by now. It can host more than 20 types of sports and can also host cultural events. It has a beautifully curved roof to compensate for its large size, thanks to the innovative spatial design of architects Mih\u00e1ly Bal\u00e1zs and Attila Tam\u00e1s Tarn\u00f3czky, who have lowered the arena from the ground level. At first glance, the roof seems to cover the building like a gentle shroud, extending cantilevered over the boundary wall. The form is finely structured: a square cone, rounded off from a large spherical surface and set on its head, to intersect the geometry of the roof and the overhang. The appropriacy of this formal perfection is also confirmed by the fact that the outward-sloping fa\u00e7ade provides particularly advantageous shading effects, significantly reducing the thermal load of the whole ice rink. Glazed facades on all four sides allow for a clear view of the building, and the transparency that continues in the interior allows the atmosphere of the arena to be seen from the outside. From the first floor, the sloping fa\u00e7ade is surrounded by curved bands of shield-like components that curve outwards, become denser at the entrances and space out towards the centre of the fa\u00e7ade. Thanks to the glazed walls used in many points, the observer remains in visual contact with the outside world throughout most of the building, even when entering the fighting area.<\/p>\n
