MANICA has completed the design of the new 18,000 seat arena in Guangzhou, China. The arena will be the centerpiece of the Asian Village (also masterplanned and designed by MANICA) and one of the primary host venues for the 16th Asian Games in 2010. MANICA will lead the design effort as primary Design Architect, and partner with the Guangzhou Design Institute (GDI) to complete the project by August 2010.
