Audi Le Mans
The spirit of
motorsports
Once a year, 50 cars race in circles for 24 hours at Le Mans in France. For entertainment – and of course for refuelling – we were allowed to design a pop-up restaurant right next to the track for several years in a row. With the Audi Racing Garden, we have countered the hot tar with a cool curve. In keeping with the prize for sustainability, which paradoxically also exists at this car race, the restaurant concept draws on both hands in its materiality and reusability – after we had already given it the little finger with the basic structural form as an energy curve.
Temporary architecture
Deceleration when you need it most: We created a green oasis with durable and sustainable materials that became a centre of attraction next to the actual racing action for three years in a row. With untreated wood, varied planting and light-coloured furniture, a temporary environment has been created where you can’t help but lower your pulse. In combination with clear, reduced forms, we have created the perfect place to relax in the midst of speed and pressure to perform.
