Located in the Rhine Valley on the Austrian-Swiss border directly beside the river, this new stadium for Lustenau will be made of wood where feasible, while the existing stands for spectators on the south end are to be retained and integrated ― the requirements and contextual conditions for a new stadium. These conditions were also the starting point for the concept and the methods chosen to execute the project. To design a new soccer stadium accommodating approximately 7,000 spectators that also creates a strong visual pull requires more than meeting the above conditions. The Rhine and its valleys shape the identity of the landscape to a large degree, much like the market town of Lustenau evokes an urban flair that is typical of the Rhine Valley. Lustenau is a border town, and the discussion about a transborder Rhine Valley region has been taking place for some time. In keeping with requirements, the new stadium building can be used to create an architecture that could become a landmark for a transnational Rhine Valley region.
