Planning area of Lufthansa Conference and Visitor Centre
The light-filled building is designed in the style of an aircraft hangar, it is intended to make the pioneering spirit and expertise of the client tangible. In addition to exhibition areas and a coffee lounge, it will also offer space for events with several hundred guests. A key attraction of the building is its large transparent façade, which provides a view of two legendary Lufthansa aircraft – the Junkers Ju 52 and the Lockheed Super Star – that will be permanently displayed in the hall, which is over 17 metres high. Integrating the aircraft into the hall required early coordination of construction processes as well as, special technical and logistical planning. As a flexible meeting place with collaboration areas for LHG employees and business partners, the new centre reflects the changing use of office space and new forms of communication and collaboration. For sustainable and highly efficient operation, the energy concept includes the use of renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics. In addition to the architecture, AS+P is also responsible for the landscape design, which harmoniously integrates the building into its high-quality surroundings. AS+P has managed the project as the general planner from the outset as a BIM project using Autodesk Revit, taking on work stages 1 to 7. Parts of work stage 5 were carried out by the executing company and monitored by AS+P.
