Abstract
Administrative and commercial complex - Lausanne - Switzerland In an area which is being rebuilt in the centre of Lausanne, a 145,000 m 2 administrative and commercial complex has been built. It consists of a low body with 3 levels, arranged as platforms above the street and in the shape of terraces with gardens whereby a 4,000 m 2 area reserved for pedestrians has been created. On this lower part, high buildings have been constructed in harmony with each other. The building system consists of an upper structure with big beams and ribs which support the facade panels. The structure rests upon 4 big central columns and two on the side, whereby a diaphanous look has been achieved, further increased by mobile partition walls by which future needs also can be attended to. The light exterior enclosures were thoroughly studied and tested so as to provide total protection against dust and outer noise. Further the construction is equipped with interior heating and cooling installations and insulation from sound. This new urban complex does not attempt to adapt itself to the surrounding environment, but its lines are rather an expression of the architecture of tomorrow.
