Stadion Schützenwiese Winterthur
The existing FC Winterthur Football Stadium is called Schützenwiese and situated in the centre of
Winterthur, next to the well-known and the city's sole high rise building, the "Sulzer Hochhaus". The new
Stadium follows the archetype of British football stadiums, grown over generations and completed step by
step.
The Pitch is surrounded by cubic stand-buildings with an overhanging roof on the back side onto the public
space. These sheltered, open spaces connect the stadium with the surrounding urban fabric.
A reduced, rough steel-construction, archaic in appearance, gives the stands a strong expression. Based on
a cost-effective, pre-fabricated system, the single modules can be site-assembled to a stand with any
length.
