(Image: Maris Mezulis). The new training center for the Public Crisis Unit consists an area of 1’500 sqm and was built below an elevated expressway. The premise contains operational and training facilities, mechanical workshops for trucks and storage depots. Similar to the work yard which we built a couple of years earlier, the design of the premises had to use elaborate technical constructions. The new parts of the building were built in prefabricated wood elements. These appear as black boxes between the exposed concrete columns of the elevated expressway. The alternating roof shape of the new building results from the varying height requirements of the different boxes. It is this a gesture which opens the premise to the outside and upgrades the spot for the users of the facility.   The structure of the expressway shapes the arrangement of the program as independent boxes.    The new building fits into the exposed concrete columns of the elevated expressway (Image: ScKA). |
