Stadien / Stadiums. Albert Wimmer

The work of Albert Wimmer is characterized by his incessant drive to find ideal answers to the constantly changing demands on architecture. His projects set international standards, also in stadium architecture. His winning entry for the construction of the new Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck was the foundation for his work in stadium construction. The stadiums in Salzburg, Klagenfurt and Nicosia followed. Albert Wimmer is therefore responsible for three of the four Austrian stadiums for the EURO 2008 tournament.

Striking architectural design elements characterize the impressive appearance of his stadiums. The underlying functional, economical and social framework conditions pose a new challenge for architecture: the connection between functionalism and experience. Contributions written by internationally respected social and cultural scientists and by architecture theoreticians discuss the social, economical and cultural development of football today.
