SO – IL, Architectuurstudio HH (AHH), and ABT have released their new design proposal for ArtA, a planned development along the Rhine River in the inner city of Arnhem, The Netherlands. ArtA will combine the Museum Arnhem and Focus Filmtheater Arnhem. The design was created after the team was shortlisted for the architecture competition in December 2013, along with Kengo Kuma and Associates, BIG | Bjarke Ingels Group, NL Architects, and Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA).
The SO – IL and AHH team’s design will serve as a link between the city and the Rhine, focusing on three main ideas: urban form, collective structure, and reflective space. A robust and identifiable public building for the city now and in the future, ArtA offers a multitude of interfaces for the city of Arnhem. Generous and flexible programmatic volumes support the production and experience of culture, as well as create a place for reflection and wonder – a transportive experience. The proposed building is energy-neutral, and may even be energy- yielding to immediate surroundings.
