Develop navigation for the largest stadium in Russia.

Release date: 11/10/2017

Luzhniki is the legendary Moscow stadium, where the main sports and cultural events took place: the Olympics, World Championships, the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals. In 2018, Luzhniki will host matches of the FIFA World Cup.

For the championship, the studio has developed a convenient and understandable navigation system for the arena of the stadium.

Luzhniki is the most big stadium Russia, there can be more than eighty thousand people at the same time. First of all, it was necessary to make sure that all these people did not get lost while looking for their place.

We have divided the stadium into four sectors, each of which is divided into small blocks. Only one exit leads to each block from the corridor, so the visitor will not get lost and will not look for his place in someone else's block.

The blocks are large numbered from both the corridor and arena sides. Large numbers on the side of the arena help staff quickly find the area they want.

- The person is bad, urgently the doctor for the one hundred and second!

The entrances to the arena building and blocks are numbered counterclockwise, that is, from left to right. In the previous navigation, it was the other way around, and it confused people. Usually the second entrance is located to the right of the first, everyone is used to it. But not at Luzhniki! Most often, visitors walked from block number one straight to block eighteen, and then, swearing, returned back.

The new numbering is intuitive and makes navigation much easier.

Each route has decision points - these are special places where a person decides where to go next. At the stadium, these are entrances and stairs, forks, that is, all areas where there is a choice. Right or left? Directly? Lord, what to do, where to run? Careful navigation pointers are placed at every decision point.

Navigation takes visitors from the approach to the arena to the stand, giving directions to the blocks and service facilities.

The pointers are designed so that the information on them is visible, but they themselves are not. The color of the signs matches the color of the walls, and the floor signs are made of metal, which is used in the decor of the stadium.

This is not navigation, but an ode to delicacy. Signs and signs help the visitor not to get lost, but do not overload the visual space.

Navigation gives answers only to questions that are relevant at a particular point.

Here is a visitor coming to the stadium. What is he interested in? First of all, where is the entrance to the arena, where to go. Inside the arena - already other thoughts: “How to get to your sector? Where is the toilet? And here you can eat somewhere? ".

The navigation provides answers to questions as they come, so the signs are not overloaded with text and are easy to understand. The closer the landmark is to the decision point, the larger it is on the sign.

Signs are located high enough and are clearly visible in the stream of people. The signs are proportional to the space in which they are placed. On the flights of stairs, these are small signs, at the entrances to the building - huge signs.

In areas remote from intense flows are located complete diagrams stadium. Here visitors calmly explore the structure of the arena.

Internal navigation helps to navigate the stadium staff.

In order for the visitor to always understand where to go, even simple signs are supplemented with explanations. For example, the direction to the desired row is shown with a ladder.

Stadium history

At the end of 1954, the top of the USSR government decided that the capital was in need of a large-scale and impressive sports arena. Already in January next year design work started under the direction of the architect Alexander Vlasov. They decided to build the stadium on a rather inconspicuous and almost abandoned territory to the south-west of the capital.

The project of the future arena was created surprisingly quickly. April 1955 has already become the starting point for large-scale construction. The construction of the stadium in Luzhniki was seriously supported and supervised by the state. There were no problems with manpower and materials. The construction involved a large number of people on a voluntary basis. After 450 days, the main work on the country's main construction site was completed. July 31, 1956 Great sports arena named after V.I.Lenin (first name) passed the stage grand opening... The ceremony was attended by hundreds of thousands of spectators. And the central sporting action of that day was the battle between the local team and footballers from China (the hosts won 1-0).

At the beginning of August 1956, the 1st Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR started in the new sports complex. These were the most major competitions in the world (at that time). After that, six more Spartakiads were held. As a rule, these competitions summed up the pre-Olympic preparation and helped to form the optimal team for the main international games.

The BSA Luzhniki has undergone major renovations more than once. On the eve of the 1980 Summer Olympics at the stadium. V.I. Lenin, the under-stands premises were thoroughly altered, which began to comply with international requirements in terms of comfort and safety. In addition, the track for cross-country sports has been expanded. At the same time, the capacity of the stands inside the bowl was reduced to 96,000 seats.

Opening and closing ceremonies Games XXII The Olympics were held at the country's main stadium. The lion's share of the competitions took place at the venues of the Olympic complex in Luzhniki. More than 5,000 athletes from 80 countries competed for awards in 21 sports.

In the 90s, one of the most monumental stadiums in the former USSR became just a backdrop for a huge market, which was overwhelmed with goods pouring in from foreign countries. The sports complex has become joint stock company, a large bazaar is located on its territory. Nevertheless, active trade practically did not prevent the arena from performing its main functions. The Luzhniki stadium regularly hosted football matches and concerts. Only in 2011, traces of rapid trade on the "sports" land disappeared completely.

Another global reconstruction at the Luzhniki BSA was carried out on the eve of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Four years before the Mundial, large-scale work began, which progressed rather quickly. The designers took into account the specifics of the upcoming competition and made the stadium exclusively football. Removed Treadmills and sector for athletics...

Luzhniki has repeatedly received serious international competitions by the most different types sports. In the late 50s, the world ice hockey championship was held here. In 1961 and 1974. - World Championship in modern pentathlon.

Over the years, Luzhniki hosted Summer Universiade(1973), Goodwill Games (1986), World youth games... Already in the 21st century, the country's main arena became the host of the Rugby Sevens World Championship and the World Athletics Championship.

Despite numerous sport competitions, which took place on the Luzhniki Stadium, the main place in the life of this sports complex is rightfully occupied by football.

The match aroused serious interest among football fans. The first game at the updated Luzhniki stadium was almost sold out. Argentine stars beat local footballers 1-0. The decisive goal was scored by striker Sergio Aguero.

The most significant cultural and entertainment events

In 1990, the bowl of a large sports arena became the place where in last time Viktor Tsoi performed with his team. The concert of the "Kino" group was held within the framework of a holiday organized by one of the Moscow newspapers. Unfortunately, a few years later, here, on the Luzhniki Stadium, a concert was held in memory of Viktor Tsoi, who tragically died in a car accident. Such groups as DDT, Nautilus Pompilius, Chaif ​​and many others performed.

In the 90s, Western stars became even closer to the domestic audience. Naturally, the best representatives of the world show business chose the largest venue for the concert.
