Landscape Formation One: Ramp approach from the southwest

Landscape Formation One is the name of a building designed by the British, Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid for the Grün 99 state horticultural show in Weil am Rhein , Baden-Württemberg . The house, which was designed in the late 1990s, is also known as the Hadid pavilion , served as an exhibition space during the garden show and is the seat of the Trinational Environmental Center (TRUZ).

description

Landscape Formation One is located around two kilometers south of the center of Weil am Rhein in the so-called Dreiländerpark . The 140-meter-long sculptural and streamlined building curves from the northeast to the southwest. The landscape-like shape blends in with the hilly landscape and thus connects the rural area south of Weil with urban Basel . A flat ramp leads from the southwest between the roofs of the east and west aisles. This walkway-like ramp can be reached from the northeast side by a flat staircase. The land area occupies 845 square meters; The materials used were site - exposed concrete and glass. The roof is partly covered with green areas and partly with gravel .

The client, the Landesgartenschau Weil am Rhein GmbH , awarded the project directly to Zaha Hadid Architects without a competition. The London architect and Hadid's business partner Patrick Schumacher , the Mayer Bährle office and the free architects DBA from Lörrach were all involved . Planning started in 1996; the realization lasted until 1999.

Use, technology and condition

The building serves as the seat of the environmental center TRUZ and houses office and exhibition rooms as well as a restaurant. The building complex shows high temperature stability in summer and winter. This is achieved, among other things, by the low energy standard of 60 kWh / m² · a as well as insulation using foam glass . The heat is generated by the cogeneration unit in a nearby swimming pool. The restaurant is ventilated through a gravel grid in the ground; the toilet facilities use the rainwater for flushing. Despite the modern design, energy saving and renovation measures are currently (2013) being considered. The flaking and cracks on the concrete are also a visual impairment.
