Skylight components in façade by H&deM [471]
Under the stadium St. Jakob Arena, H&deM architects have built a lightweight façade formed by a grid of polycarbonate operable parts of the type typically used as skylights. The operability is achieved by grouping hydraulic devices as the ones used in opening skylights as well.
The result is a translucent facade that closes the interior without refusing natural lighting, and also hiding the generally unpleasant spaces under the grandstands.
