About Gigantium Urban Space
Our goal was to transform a previously used loading area into a lively plaza, with the objective of extending the sports and cultural activities of Gigantium, which is Aalborg’s prominent sports and cultural center, into an outdoor setting. Our vision was to create an urban space that seamlessly integrates with the center’s indoor facilities. To achieve this, we used a combination of red and white accents. We designed playful streaks that guide visitors from the street into the square, giving a unique identity to the concrete elements within the space.

The Red Carpet Of Gigantium Urban Space

Gigantium Urban Space Situated next to a popular bike route and facing a lush green field where sheep graze, the newly constructed red plaza creates a striking contrast with its natural surroundings. The bright red carpet acts as a clear path for visitors, directing them to the urban plaza and encouraging them to take a break, unwind, or participate in fun activities. Different shapes of red elements divide the forecourt into separate sections, while playful white lines further amplify the vibrant and energetic atmosphere. © Rasmus Hjortshøj – COAST
