The game of football is the undisputed centre of attention, and the architecture and lighting concept must bow to this principle – such was the design for the new 'Stade de la Tuilière' in Lausanne. Effective lighting with ERCO LED lighting solutions in the access areas to the stands and in the VIP zones perfectly implements this idea. As part of the "ERCO individual" service, not only was a sophisticated system of suspended channels with integrated, glare-free lighting developed for the corridors and catering areas, but housings and anti-dazzle louvres of all luminaires used were colour-matched to blend visually with the architecture and interior design.
The new FC Lausanne-Sport stadium was designed for football matches and major events. The striking architecture with its four projecting stadium corners accommodating the entrance areas puts the action on the pitch in the centre, whilst at the same time emotionalising it: the steep tiers bring fans close to the action and the low roof amplifies sound levels during the match. The special corner solution creates a canopied public space overlooking the pitch. In this way the atmosphere can already be felt from outside, and a pulling effect into the interior of the stadium is created for visitors.
