with Nora Graw & Martina Lesjak ; summer 2008

The concept for the boat factory is based on exploration of the sectional relationship between inside and outside. The massing, with its orientation, reacts on the city and coast condition and creates a diverse set of momentums along the “s” axis. The volumes are nested in the landscape which changes from topography to a high-tech artificial ground. The building as a sequence deals with interweaving of the two major components: plenum and shell. The designed pattern for the structural plenum is reacting on the sun angles with its depth and the way it is tilted. That creates not only a visual effect on the façade but different light conditions and shadings in the building.
