Building for the future

The future is unpredictable. That's why we need to build buildings that are flexible, can transform over time, and are built to accommodate new, yet unknown programs.


We propose a rational, vibrant building, built to change over time to the functions that the future needs. By incorporating flexibility from the start, we get a parking garage that is also profitable in a longer perspective. Financially, socially and resource-wise.

 

We suggest replacing the concrete building system with a simple wooden column/beam system and incorporating a flexible buildingstructure from the start, that can change over time. Extra ceiling height on the top floor and the inclusion of flexible demountable decks enable the building to accommodate whatever programs the future may require.
