Troxler office: Making a virtue out of necessity
Noise pollution in Lucerne’s Old Town has been an issue for some time. Recently, the City Council passed a controversial ordinance imposing additional regulations on street music.
Due to pressure from residents and businesses, street musicians have only been allowed to perform four times since July 1. But noise pollution is still an issue. Numerous construction works have been underway in the old town for a few weeks now. In the Kornmarktgasse / Kornhausplatz area, the entire stone paving is being renewed. The stores are difficult to access due to the construction barriers. The former Pinocchio on Hirschenplatz is also being renovated. Renovations are underway in Hertensteinstrasse, excavation work is being carried out on Sternplatz and the Rathaus Brauerei is also greeted by scaffolding. The Troxler office takes it with humor and makes a virtue out of necessity. "The emissions from the construction noise around our office are already considerable. We wanted to counter this with humor. This gave us the idea of the yellow construction boards."
