STUFISH Entertainment Architects在东伦敦设计了ABBA剧场，这是一个全新的演出空间。剧场可以容纳3000名观众，是ABBA视觉演唱会ABBA VOYAGE的主场，已于2022年5月26日向公众开放。建筑靠近布甸磨坊里DLR车站，将成为城市新的文化目的地。

这座钢木建筑被设计成了一个神秘的体块，吸引着人们的注意，同时营造出了一种热情的氛围，让游客能够享受在这里的体验。设计由内而外进行，25.5米高的六边形剧场呼应了演出、舞台和座椅几何形式的要求。建筑被设计为可拆卸的临时场所，可以迁移到其他地方，其大小是同类型建筑之最。

STUFISH Entertainment Architects have designed the ABBA Arena– a brand new performance space in East London. The 3000-capacity arena will serve as the home for ABBA’s virtual concert ‘ABBA VOYAGE’, which opened 26 May 2022. The building is set to become a new cultural destination to the city, situated close to Pudding Mill Lane DLR station.

The steel and timber building has been conceived as a mysterious, intriguing object that demands attention, whilst creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors to enjoy their experience. Designed from the inside out, the 25.5m high hexagonal form of the arena is in response to the requirements of the show, the staging and the desired seating geometry. The largest of its kind, the structure has been designed as a demountable temporary venue, which is able to be relocated to another site.

剧场中心的观众厅容纳了大量高科技设施，提供了独特的沉浸式娱乐体验，共设有1650个坐席和1350个站席。临时场馆的结构被设置在混凝土台上，净跨度达70米，可以满足大型360度沉浸式演出的需求。结构由ES Global建造，起重量被尽可能优化，将基础上的荷载减到最小。屋顶的设计直接回应了观众厅巨大的结构跨度，补全了场所的神秘外观。剧场被整合在一个半轴对称的钢结构穹顶下，穹顶重量为744公吨，在地面建造完成后通过18架拉索千斤顶提升到25.5米的空中，最终安装在指定位置，这是一场工程壮举。屋顶和墙壁的覆板不仅要满足场所的声学要求，还要控制对周边居住区的噪声影响。与内部精彩的高科技演出空间不同，设计在固定钢制穹顶和剧场的外部结构上覆盖了一层由可持续木条组成的多孔屏障。顺着木材设置的LED灯带在两侧立面上组成了巨大的ABBA标志。

At the heart of the arena, the auditorium houses high tech capabilities and offers a unique immersive entertainment experience, designed to fit 1650 seats and space for a standing audience of 1350. The structure of the temporary venue that sits on concrete pads, is designed to create an internal clear span of 70m to allow for a large 360° immersive production. Built by ES Global, it has been optimised to be as light as possible to minimise the load on foundations. The design of the roof is a direct response to the large structural span of the auditorium and a desire to compliment the venue’s mysterious appearance. An engineering feat, the arena is unified beneath a semi-axisymmetric steel dome weighing in at 744 tonnes, which during construction was built on the ground and then lifted 25.5m into the air by 18 strand jacks to its final position. The roof and wall cladding have been designed to meet the acoustic performance of the venue and to limit the effects of noise on surrounding residential areas. To contrast with the spectacle of the high tech show inside, the external structure that braces the steel dome roof and auditorium, is clad with a porous screen of sustainable timber battens. The large ABBA logo is integrated onto two facades with LED light strips following the timber.

观众厅外的集散区用来服务到访的听众，由Stage One建造的巨大木制顶棚为他们提供庇护。正如超级结构本身，顶棚采用可以分区拆卸的模块化系统，能够根据新场地的要求改变形状。木制单元顺应场馆的六角形形状，容纳了食物和饮品站、零售、卫生间、以及一间游客休息室。

Outside the auditorium an extended concourse area is used to serve visitors as they arrive, sheltered from the elements by a large timber canopy built by Stage One. Like the superstructure itself, the canopy is a modular system that can be removed in sections and can be reconfigured to meet the needs of a new site once it has relocated. Timber modules follow the hexagonal shape of the venue to accommodate food and beverage options, retail, toilets, and a guest lounge.
