airport tower and fire brigade, Zeltweg
Zeltweg, Austria
The condition of the structure and technology of the existing building, as well as the introduction of the Eurofighter by the Austrian defence forces, necessitated the construction of a new air traffic control tower and a service building for fire brigade, winter service and rescue. The decision to combine the tower and sheds led to the creation of a ‘standing’ part and ‘reclining’ part of the building. The two elements enter into a dialogue with each other, the ‘foot’, consisting of fire brigade area and base, confronts the 45m tower. The epitrochoid ground plan is a result of the main lines of sight to the runway. The tower is not the classic form, consisting of shaft topped by a control room, but instead takes the shape of a multi-story building, where the separation into different floors is subverted by the irregular placement of slit-like windows – a high tech camouflage. In contrast to the shiny silver tower, the base structures seem to be anthracite grey boxes, sitting consciously heavily on the ground.
