Architectural Ensemble: Daniele Marques and Iwan Buhler

Bys: Adam, Hubertus, Zbinden, Ueli, Braune, Stephane

It is rare that an architectural ensemble can be produced all at once. A true football stadium in a traditional cauldron shape that is highly coherent in itself, a geometrically clear-cut cuboid building with swimming baths and gymnasia, and two high-rise towers with modern urban apartments are all parts of a well-conceived composition that gives an identity to Lucerne's Allmend and designs and ennobles the location in an impressive way. The project by the Lucerne architects Daniele Marques and Iwan B hler is the result of a prominent, internationally announced architectural competition. The design was developed further and fine-tuned during the demanding, intensive planning phase involving a wide range of uses and users. The book presents this exceptional project - which is also unique for Lucerne, its residents, the national football world and the Lucerne football club alike - including images and plans. Two architectural critiques study the architecturally valuable ensemble in detail. Text in English and German.
