Highly Transparent Facade For Helicopter Training

The challenge within this project was to establish a realistic training centre for the mountain rescue crew of Bergwacht Bayern, Germany. In order to reproduce a suitable atmosphere for the helicopter crew of the flight simulator, the main target for the architects and engineers was to create a highly transparent façade.The primary structural characteristics of the cube are triple belted steel frames clad with modular membrane façade elements tensioned over a series of internal vertical arches. The result is an elegant, highly transparent low weight envelope that protects against the elements and gives the right environment for the helicopter simulator training.
