 Neuenburg is setting new urban de-

As in other urban areas, calculations showed that only
multifunctional use would facilitate economical operation. Locat-
ed below the playing area and the grandstands is a two-storey base-
ment structure with a shopping centre and car parks.

The lightweight construction design with Montana profiles enabled a fine, ribbon-
like lining architecture, which takes up the terrain with breaks in the gradient. In
addition, the red-coated perforated SWISS PANEL® SP 45/150 A trapezoidal profile
give the underside of the roof the structure for its sound-absorption function. The outer
roof is made of SWISS PANEL® SP 111/310 trapezoidal profiles.

The new Juventus stadium was inau-
gurated on 8 September 2011 at the location of the
former Stadio delle Alpi in Turin. Architects Gino Zavanella
and Hernando Ramon Suarez were responsible for project plan-
ning.

The covered stadium, completed in two years and with a total of 41,000 seats,
is one of the world’s most advanced facilities of its kind. The two 86 metre-high pil-
lars that support the steel ropes of the roof structure are definitely a striking feature.

For the exceptional span of the roof structure that measures more than 10 metres, the
architects chose a honeycomb design using SWISS PANEL® SP 160 to provide outstanding
structural performance. Two profile layers were fastened to each other using screws based
on a carefully calculated pattern. This provides an interlocked bracing system with outstanding
ARCHITECTS rigidity and load-bearing capacity which serves simultaneously as a linear load-bearing ele-

 The Stade de Genève, a modern foot-
ball arena with covered seating for 30,000 spec-
tators, is situated in La Praille, close to the French border.
The stadium was built in close cooperation with UEFA. The roof
of the stadium with a total area of 17,850 m2 is supported by 48 struc-
tural steel beams between 32 and 39 m long and 10.65 m apart. The roof
is a single-skin structure. Translucent polycarbonate boards are fitted to
the inside edge of the roof over a width of 10-11 m to facilitate the gradual
transition of light and shade in front of the grandstands. The stadium provides
direct access to the Geneva RER service, its own railway station and the highway.
This multifunctional complex also has a shopping centre with a car park, a hotel, TV
studios, offices and conference centres, as well as a cultural centre.
