Renderings zeigten früh die Innenraumqualität des Entwurfes für das konkrete Pilotprojekt auf. • Renderings showed the interior quality of the design at an early stage.

Wegen der außergewöhnlichen Schalungsformen entstand eine eigenständige Außenhautgestaltung. • Because of the formwork moulds, an independent outer skin was used. Axonometrie der Konstruktionsschichten • Axonometry

Blackbox venue. Rather than starting from programme and function, design began with the
available formwork elements. Their geometry, availability and transportability were asses-
sed first; only if technical and logistical feasibility was ensured were the resulting design
proposals presented to potential clients. Programme and function followed later. A citi-
zens’ survey had identified the need for a youth meeting place, offering interpretative free-
dom. The composition of twelve formwork elements creates a cross-shaped interior with
two narrow entrances and an almost sacred vault-like ceiling, lit by large windows and an
indirect skylight. The protective outer shell forms five seating niches with integrated tim-
ber benches while concealing direct views into the interior. Reusing the station formwork
enabled an otherwise unaffordable architecture. The three-dimensionally curved timber
surfaces were originally milled from thick laminated CLT blocks using robotic fabrication.
After manually removing the former boat varnish and sanding the surfaces, damascene-li-
ke patterns emerged from the layered timber. Excluding foundations, the pavilion consists
almost entirely of biogenic, largely reused material. The formwork elements form the pri-
mary structure; the outer shell is reversibly screwed solid timber. No adhesives or coatings
were used, and all wood remains untreated. The Reallabor Ingersheim thus contributes
significantly to climate protection and circular construction discourse. Längs- und Querschnitt des finalen Entwurfs • Sections Sections of the final design
