See more » The rules of the game The brief is to combine the 1.5km long acoustic barrier with an industrial building of 5000m2 · The concept of the acoustic barrier including the Cockpit building is to design with the speed of passing traffic since the building is seen from the perspective of the driver · Cars, powerboats and planes are streamlined to diminish the drag · Along the A2 highway the acoustic barrier and the Cockpit do not move themselves, but they are placed in a continuous flow of cars passing by · The swarm of cars streams with a speed of 120 km/h along the acoustic barrier · The length of the built volume of the Cockpit emerging from the acoustic dike is a 10 times more than the height · The concept of the Cockpit building is inspired on a cockpit as integral part of the smooth body of a Starfighter · The Cockpit building functions as a 3d logo for the commercial area hidden behind the acoustic barrier · Hessing Showroom The most striking design principle of the Hessing showroom, which is immersed in the long stretched volume of the acoustic barrier, is the use of long continuous lines · Lines, which do not have an explicit beginning and not an abrupt end · Close to the Cockpit the top line goes up, and the bottom line goes further down, thus creating a great space for the showrooms · The showroom is a horizontal cathedral for cars · Hessing displays Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini and Maserati · Right under the spectacular 3d track of the showrooms the workshop and the garage are located, just revealing the top of the cars the mechanics are working on · Parametric Design Collaborative design relies completely on the uncompromised parametric basis for the design · If not built parametrically you can not play with the parameters, and you are not able to interfere with it · You would not be able to communicate smoothly with the 3d model and the project database, neither in the design process nor in the life-cycle of the environment · Working with parametric models creates the communication space for the stakeholders in the building process to discuss the qualities of the proposed environments · It opens up the design process for collaborative engineering in the phase of the execution of the project · It opens up the design process for a possible and meaningful interaction with the clients and the users · The concept for the Cockpit building as integral part of an acoustic barrier is based on a relatively simple set of related curves, describing the amount of m2 for the commercial content of the building · The concept does not describe exact values, but parametric relations between height, width and length · Thanks to the strength of the concept the project is still alive after many times of new values set for the parameters, proposed by the different stakeholders involved · See less »
