HAVER & BOECKER at EuroBasket 2015

The Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille will host the finals of the Basketball European Championships from September 12th.

The Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille is next to Berlin, Montpellier, Riga and Zagreb a venue for the EuroBasket 2015. The multi-purpose stadium, located in Lille on the Boulevard de Tournai and designed by the architects Valode & Pistre and Pierre Ferret, will host the finals of the Basketball European Championships from September 12th.

Primarily, the Stade Pierre Mauroy is the stadium of the football club OSC Lille with a capacity of 50.000 spectators. Within 24 hours, the stadium can be turned into a versatile arena for concerts, cultural and indoor sports events. Therefore one part of the lawn will be moved to the northern sector of the stadium, so that a deeper playing ground appears. Thanks to a downward expansion of the stands 30.000 spectators will be able to watch the matches of the EuroBasket 2015.

Those who will visit the EuroBasket in Lille may also look forward to an interesting external appearance of the stadium. The main façade of the stadium is equipped with the transparent media façade IMAGIC WEAVE® by HAVER & BOECKER. On 2046 m² HAVER Architectural Mesh, 70,000 pixels in three different areas of resolution provide the optimum for playing the media content like videos, text messages or just colors.

The transparent media façade system IMAGIC WEAVE® is a fusion of HAVER Architectural Mesh and state-of-the-art LED technology. With an infinite number of colors, IMAGIC WEAVE® creates besides individually lighting effects, brilliant video presentations on new or existing facades.
