"Überragende" Sicht

Outstanding View

The interdisciplinary creative laboratory Interpol+- has been founded in the attempt to expand the contemporary understanding of creativity and to develop new formats independent of any contracting authority. Grounded on the enthusiasm for football stadiums by the team and resulting from an intensive elaboration of cultural forms in 2010 the first idea for the "suprastadio" has been developed: A grandstand system that integrates extraordinary steep upper tiers, which echelon back in the direction of the playing field, i.e. they protrude out and above, in Latin "supra stadio". This specific geometry opens up an optimized and free view predominantly from above on the entire pitch and moves almost half of the audience significantly closer to the game. The conceptual design of the architects of Interpol+- has thereby been characterised from the beginning by a close cooperation with experts of all relevant disciplines. In 2011 also a stand-alone grandstand as one variant of the "suprastadio" has been systematically developed in the framework of a design proposal for FC St. Pauli. Especially the cooperation with the engineering office osd enabled the sustainable and detailed solutions on the interface of creativity, architecture and engineering, which will be presented in the following. Developed from the perspective of a fan, this integrative stadium concept - a patent application has been filed - rediscovers the connection between the spectator and the actor and opens up trendsetting potentials for the requirements of stadiums in the 21st Century.
