Since establishing the firm over 50 years ago, Professor Helmut Schulitz and later Claas Schulitz have guided a design process that upholds a pragmatic approach to architecture that creates identities. Their design philosophy of ‘Form follows
Performance’ is buttressed by a deep understanding of the relationship between context, material, structural design and formal expression. The process treats a project’s broad spectrum of design constraints on all scales as matrix that allows
the balanced adjustment and calibration. The outcome is a tailored design solution specific to the context and cultural identity that simultaneously incorporates high efficiency, sustainability, programmatic requirements, innovation and design
excellence. SCHULITZ Architekten has been commissioned to design stadia for FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany (Heinz-von Helden-Arena, Hanover) and FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil (Salvador).
Furthermore, SCHULITZ Architekten have also delivered architectural services in various other sports venues: Bundesliga Stadium Eintracht Stadion, Braunschweig, Germany | Ice rink Wolfsburg, Germany | Ice rink Bietigheim-Bissingen ,
Germany | Ice rink Höchstadt a.d. Aisch, Germany | Ice rink Straubing, Germany | Ice rink Niesky, Germany | Lentpark, Cologne, Germany. The firm has received numerous design awards, including IOC / IAKS Award for sports venues.
