Desing Arch. FANNY LENOBLE

„Malmö Live”

The new building complex is situated on Universitetsholmen in Malmo between the old city centre and the new urban developments. The building consists of a composition of cubic volumes that are mutually twisted and given different sizes to meet the directions and building heights of the surrounding city. The facades are designed with a homogeneous expression to make the composition
appear as one architectonic sculpture. The ground floor is open to the public and offers people from the city the possibility to stroll through the building if they are going to a concert, a conference, to the café or just want to make a shortcut. The main entrance is found at the northern part of the building, with a classic loggia-motif facing the plaza in front. From the south you enter

the building directly from the promenade that runs along the canal. The different functions in the building are organised like separate elements – as a little city. Here, the lobby becomes the street that runs through the whole ground floor plan and ties everything together. From the inside, the three volumes that hold the large symphony hall, the flexible hall and the conference hall, will stand as clearly defined elements. The building shapes appear as a three-dimensional composition in laminated wood with warm, red colours.
