Structure
The center is designed as a temporary structure, a form of nomadic architecture similar to the Future Arena, which hosts handball. After completion of the games, it will be dismantled and its parts will be used in the construction of two new, different facilities.
The exterior of the building features art by Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão.
