THE CAR AUCTION HOUSE

abbas daher

Located along  Abdelwahab El Inglizi street in the Achrafieh, the project aims to glorify the presence of the vintage auctioned automobiles, by the introduction of a spiral inside-out vehicular ramp that governs the project and characterizes its facade. The ramp creates a show that dominates the exhibition space from the ground floor up to the auction hall, interlocking the pedestrian circulation as  a loop of visual and physical interaction between the exhibited vehicles and the visitors. It influences the form of the membrane as the catalyst of the project by hosting a café, a lecture hall, an office floor and a public restaurant. This ramp assembles also within its layers the project’s main steel frame structural system.
