The new MEETT Toulouse exhibition and convention centre in the
French city of Toulouse once again demonstrates how a seemingly
dull, functional task results in striking and refined architecture
if the Rotterdam-based Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA and
its mastermind Rem Koolhaas take care of it. The vast structure,
covering ca 618 by 246 yards of ground, makes for a spectacular
spatial experience in its main exhibition hall that offers 484,376
square feet of column-free floor space. OMA also took an unusual
path with regard to the configuration and transport connection of
the entire complex. Rather than sealing even more ground with
tarmac for endless car parks, it concentrated them into a compact
multi-storey parking garage at the heart of the complex that also
serves as a general traffic hub for MEETT Toulouse. The book offers
impressions of MEETT Toulouse's enormous dimensions and the vast
spaces it provides through images taken by French photographer
Marco Cappelletti. The volume is rounded out with selected plans
and concise texts on the particulars of the project. Text in
French.
