Digital Colosseum
Architectural and digital explorations of arena, stadium, and gathering spaces in physical and virtual environments.
Digital Colosseum examines how designers reimagine large-scale venues for assembly and spectacle. The topic bridges classical amphitheater typologies with contemporary needs for esports arenas, concert halls, and digital gathering spaces.
Members explore both built and virtual arena designs, from subterranean concert halls and colonnaded structures to metaverse-based platforms and esports facilities. The work investigates how traditional forum and colosseum principles translate to modern contexts.
