The Voronoi Cell is essentially a grouped element. by ungrouping them, individual element can be deleted to create a void space.

Toyo Ito's Taiching Metropolitan Opera House
Toyo Ito quoted “Architecture has to follow the diversity of society, and has to reflect that a simple square or cube can’t contain that diversity.”
Although this building is a much fluid form compare to what my proposed scheme. I found that, it has a very interesting relationship of spaces within. The building performs like a cage that holds up every little bits of functions within.

Voronoi Bounding box Test
This is another series of test on how the bounding box effect the shape of the outcome.
In this test. 2 bounding box is inserted one horizontally and one vertically.
The result is a form that is cut through in the middle by a path.
This test, 3 bounding box is inserted, 1 horizontally and 2 vertically.
The result.
A curve is inserted as the bounding box instead of a straight line.
The form turn out to be more random.
This test shows the density of points decreases on different level.
Result.
This shows a opposite arrangement of points to the previous test.
expected result.

Voronoi Testing
Testing on Density of Points
These are a few testing on the effect of different density of points. As a result the size of the cell is indirectly proportional to the density of the points given.
Firstly i started a box with 4x4 grid and extracted the points.
Next, it is copied on top of each other into three layers to give it a volume.
Voronoi plugin is then applied to all the points. this is result of the test.
The next test is to create a medium size cell, because the size of the cell is indirectly related to the density of the points created. therefore i increases the grid in the box (double)
Same procedure is being executed.
Points copied into three layers. And Voronoi plugin is again executed. the result shows the decrease of cell size.
Voronoi plugin is again executed in a more densely arranged maner. Result shows a more decrease in cell volume.
The difference between the cell sizes.

Spatial Organization with Voronoi
After some serious thoughts, i have decided instead of proposing to build an arena, a multi use structure will be more appropriate. Below are some studies of the site. The current site is an empty land between the city and the waterfront. The main concern is the pedestrian connection from the city to the waterfront.
By proposing a building on the site, the pedestrian link between the two entity will be disrupted.
Therefore, a better solution is needed to preserved the link while providing more functional area to the space. By lifting up the Structure a ground level pedestrian flow can be preserved and in the same time provides functional spaces above.
The Idea to build a big box which houses Different types of functional spaces. It can be retail spaces, office spaces, Gallery, Gardens, or hall.
By applying Voronoi Theory, spaces could be generated by nodes which functional meaning have been given to.
A Conceptual render of what my idea will be.

Study Diagram
Voronoi diagram is a special kind of decomposition of a metric space determined by distances to a specified discrete set of objects in the space, e.g., by a discrete set of points. The Cell is defined by a central node points which is equivalent to a nuclei of a living cell.
The Boundary line that divides the two nodes are always equal.
Therefore, in order to create a larger cell the density of nodes needs to bigger less. whereby a higher density of nodes will create a smaller cell structure.
Functions which need a larger of smaller volume will be categorized into a group of similar nodes density.
