项目概况:


The London Shooting Venue designed by Magma Architecture was used for 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in the southeast London district of Woolwich on the grounds of the historic Royal Artillery Barracks. It designed three mobile buildings with 3.800 seats and had their own contemporary architectural expression under the historic context. The design of the shooting venue was driven by the desire to evoke an experience of flow and precision inherent in the shooting sport through the dynamically curving space. All three ranges were configured in a crisp, white double curved membrane façade studded with vibrantly colored openings. As well as animating the façade these dots operate as tensioning nodes. The 18.000 m² of phthalate-free PVC membrane functions best in this stretched format as it prevents the façade from flapping in the wind. The openings also act as ventilation intake and doorways at ground level. Guided by the high requirements from the client, sustainability was a key factor in shaping the design. All materials will be reused or recycled. All three of the venues are fully mobile, every joint has been designed so it can be reassembled; and no composite materials or adhesives were used. In addition, the semitransparent facades on two of the three ranges reduce the need for artificial lighting and the ventilation is fully natural.
