gmp Architects-Stade de Luxembourg Football and Rugby Stadium

 

룸셈부르크 축구경기장은 새로운 도로 및 트램웨이 연결이 있는 동쪽에서 서쪽으로 이어지는 땅위에 위치하고있다. 경기장은 단일 층과 대각선으로 잘린 모서리 영역이 있는 직각 레이아웃을 특징으로 하며 관중석은 경기장 가장자리까지 도달한다. 남쪽에 있는 공간은 VIP, 언론, 선수 및 관계자를 위한 기능적 시설을 수용하고있다. 

관람석 지붕의 하중 지지 구조는 내부 힘을 반영하도록 테이퍼진 이중 각진 강철 대들보의 그리드로 구성되었다. 대들보의 격자는 경기장의 모든 측면에서 올라오고 가장 높은 지점에서 피치 조명 시스템을 운반한다. 파사드의 다이아몬드 모양의 금속판 구조는 건물의 전체 볼륨에 통일된 효과를 준다.

 

The qualifying match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar between Luxembourg and Azerbaijan took place on September 1, 2021, and was the first official match to take place in the new Stade de Luxembourg football and rugby stadium. The design by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) for the Grand Duchy’s national stadium was the successful winner amongst 25 competitors in the 2016 negotiated procedure. The new construction of the football and rugby arena to the south of the city of Luxembourg replaced the outdated previous structure and was built in cooperation with the local practice Beng Architectes Associés.

 

In addition to the design for the stadium itself, the task involved an urban masterplan for the site of about 8 hectares. The new national arena is located on a strip of land that runs from east to west, with the A6 motorway to the north and a planned new road and tramway connection to the south, the latter creating a central traffic and interchange hub close to the stadium. Here, in addition to the sunken parking lot, gmp have also designed the new service building for the city of Luxembourg’s Service des Sports.

 

The size of the pitch and the facilities at the new arena follow international guidelines, meaning that both the top UEFA stadium category IV and that of the International Rugby Board (IRB) are achieved. The stadium features an orthogonal layout with a single tier and diagonally-truncated corner areas, with the grandstand reaching all the way down to the edge of the pitch. Towards the south, a building block accommodates the functional facilities for VIPs, the press, players, and officials.

 

There, directly above the main entrance from the forecourt at the new Boulevard Kockelscheuer, is the access to the business foyer with adjoining press area and multifunctional room, which can also be used independently of sports events. The loadbearing structure of the grandstand roof consists of a grid of double-angulated steel girders that are tapered to reflect the internal forces; the grid of girders rises from all sides of the arena and, at its highest point, carries the pitch lighting system.

 

With its 9,900 seats, the new stadium is rather small in relation to global standards. For this reason, the design was aimed at creating the atmosphere of a football arena also at this scale while also, at the same time, achieving a significant presence in the urban ensemble. To achieve this the designer developed a uniform facade structure, as well as a simple geometric loadbearing structure. The diamond-shaped folded metal plate structure of the facade has a unifying effect on the overall volume of the building.

 

In addition, at the second level high above the building and seen from outside, the line of lighting fixtures marks the dimensions of the pitch. At this exposed site, this creates a dynamic and sculptural feature that can be seen by both stadium visitors and those driving by. The effect is particularly noticeable at night when the pitch lighting and the illuminated facade structure radiate out to the city.
