with Anna Edthofer ; winter 2007

This project was developed from the plan figure as a successful massing strategy for a carproduction, design and presentation facility. The concept for the space is based on the process orerosion and is working with accumulation and aggregation of circles and ellipses in order toarchive spatial continuity.The plan of this architecture is determined from quite simple and relative rules. We were only to draw circles and ellipses according to the requested functions and floor areas, and choose the one that is not decisively contradictory from the viewpoint of the mutual relationships of the circles among the accumulation patterns. The façade and spaces are made out of intersections of cylinders and cones, which create special surface creases.The relation between poche and void flips through the plan. There are no hallways, the user is walking along space flows.Void is used as a separating tool as well as for detailing the façade.
