Hippodrome de Longchamp Proposal / Marc Anton Dahmen & Studio DMTW

By — Filed under: Sports Architecture , , , , ,

Courtesy of Marc Anton Dahmen & Studio DMTW

Marc Anton Dahmen & Studio DMTW, in collaboration with Tilke & Partners, shared with us their third prize winning design for the Longchamp racetrack in , France. One of the main aspects of their design is to understand each new structure as a solitary sculpture within the park to respect the landscape and nature of the Bois de Boulogne. Therefore it was very important to conserve as much of the spectacular mature trees as possible. In that sense, the design is aimed to maximize clear open moving space within that park. Consequently, the ground floor of the Grandstand was designed to be as open as possible to aids the visitors between the track and the betting halls, and also to achieve logical circulation between all functions within the site.

AD Classics: Le Cylindre Sonore / Bernhard Leitner

By — Filed under: AD Architecture Classics ,Featured ,Pavilion ,Public Facilities , , , , , ,

Architecture and create spaces with changing flexible contours. They create invisible territories which by not being limited by physical boundaries increase their impact. Of course, one argues that architecture is visual and expresses the will to establish limits and boundaries. While these boundaries are elementary, they cannot convey the complete adventure of architecture. Through its very essence the inside formulates an outside. And the exterior of a building creates further spaces, it gives rise to the city and all the subtle interconnections which make for the richness of the city.
