Sights in the glow of lights

embrace the power that light holds, it is the heart of every city


Accompanied by the scent of the Christmas market, walk through the streets of Lucerne and enjoy the city’s sights illuminated at Christmas. A special eye-catcher is the pier in the middle of Lucerne. Every year it is covered with beautiful Christmas lights and shines in all its glory. Designed by Marques Architekten AG.

Spreading a Christmas atmosphere is the main purpose of the new Christmas lights above the Seebrücke in Lucerne. Our proposal is not primarily a staging of a form or a spatial idea, but is intended to spread a mood, represent a sensual event, and create atmosphere. The free-standing bridge forms an ideal stage for this. The curtain of lights, which is stretched over the bridge, is intended to envelop the passer-by like a cloth. This deliberately creates a canopy of lights that turns the otherwise rather uncomfortable, cold transition to the lake into a visually warm experience.

The east side is deliberately closed off with the fairy lights. Towards the west, the canopy of lights is opened. This creates a visual reference opposite the picturesque old town and the Chapel Bridge. The jagged appearance of the light body is reminiscent of the prongs of a crown. In this way, the festive symbolism of the Christmas season with its 3 Kings and the Star of Bethlehem is subtly created without falling into kitsch.
