It was constructed between 31 August 1984 and 30 April 1986, to host the gymnastics competitions at the 1988 Summer Olympics. The roof was designed by David H. Geiger. It is a self-supporting cable dome – the first of its kind ever built – with a four-layer fabric cladding.[2][3] In 2018, the arena was extensively remodeled, including improving the conditions for concerts and redesigning the facade.[4]
