*2012런던올림픽 슈팅갤러리 [ Magma Architecture ] Olympic Shooting Venue

커다란 문어다리의 단편을 보고 있는 듯한 착각을 불러 일으키는 외피는

2012년 런던 올림픽 사격게임이 열릴 슈팅 갤러리 입니다.

백색의 PVC멤브레인의 외단부로 뻗어 있는 서클 스틸 구조물의

내부는 각각 레드와 블루 그리고 핑크로 구성된 환기통로 역활하는 오프닝입니다.

-어떻게 보면 사격경기장의 메타포를 표현하는 것 같습니다. 내부의 총알이 외부로 튀어나가는

듯한 극한의 단면들이 멈추어져 있는 듯한 찰라의 시간을 표현하고 있는 것 같기도 합니다.-

이렇게 서클은 전체 외피를 덮고 있는 멤브레인에 텐션 노드점으로 작용하며

전체 건축물의 아이텐티를 정의합니다. 여기에 화이트 멤브레인은 외부의 태양빛을

자연스럽게 필터링하여 내부로 유입시켜 내부조도를 유지하는데 도움을 줍니다.

더 재미있는 점은 이 슈팅갤러리는 2012년 런던올림픽이 끝나는대로 바로 해체하여

2014년에 열리는 영국 연방게임에 사용하도록 재조립 한다는 점입니다.

어쩌면 이러한 프로그램의 조건들이 플렉시블하면서 소프트한 재료로

슈팅갤러리를 만들도록 했을지도 모르겠습니다.

곧 방송에서 이곳의 전경을 볼 수 있겠군요.

The shooting galleries for the London 2012 Olympic games are covered in spots that look the suckers of an octopus’ tentacles.

Designed by Magma Architecture of London and Berlin, the Olympic Shooting Venue comprises three PVC tents that have been erected at London’s historic Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich.

The extruded red, blue and pink circles draw ventilation inside each of the venues and also create tension nodes for the steel structure beneath the white skin.

Some natural light permeates this PVC membrane, while entrances are contained inside all the spots that meet the ground.

As the structures are only temporary, they will be dismantled immediately after the Olympics and reassembled in Glasgow for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

London Shooting Venue

The London Shooting Venue will accommodate the events in 10, 25 and 50 m Sport Shooting at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in the southeast London district of Woolwich.

The first Gold Medal of the London Olympic Games will be awarded at the venue for Women’s 10 m Air Pistol on the 28th July 2012. After the event the three temporary and mobile buildings will be dismantled and rebuilt in Glasgow for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Shooting is a sport in which the results and progress of the competition are hardly visible to the eye of the spectator.

The design of the shooting venue was driven by the desire to evoke an experience of flow and precision inherent in the shooting sport through the dynamically curving space.

All three ranges were configured in a crisp, white double curved membrane façade studded with vibrantly colored openings.

As well as animating the façade these dots operate as tensioning nodes.

The 18.000 m2 of phthalate-free pvc membrane functions best in this stretched format as it prevents the façade from flapping in the windt.

The openings also act as ventilation intake and doorways at ground level.

The fresh and light appearance of the buildings enhances the festive and celebrative character of the Olympic event.

With the buildings being dismantled after the event an additional aim was to create a remarkable design which will be remembered by visitors and the local community thereby leaving a mental imprint the Olympic of shooting sport competition in Woolwich.

The shooting venue is not situated in the Olympic Park, but has its own location in Woolwich on the grounds of the historic Royal Artillery Barracks.

It is estimated that more than 104.000 spectators will watch the competitions.

The three buildings comprise 3.800 seats divided between two partially enclosed ranges for the 25 and 10/50 m qualifying rounds and a fully enclosed finals range. Together they form a campus on the green field.

Their up to 107 m long facades refer to the structured length of the Royal Artillery Barracks building, but have their own contemporary architectural expression.

Guided by the high requirements from the client, the Olympic Delivery Authority, sustainability was a key factor in shaping the design. All materials will be reused or recycled.

All three of the venues are fully mobile, every joint has been designed so it can be reassembled; and no composite materials or adhesives were used. In addition, the semitransparent facades on two of the three ranges reduce the need for artificial lighting and the ventilation is fully natural.

The tensioning detail was achieved through an efficient configuration of modular steel components commonly used in temporary buildings market. The double-curvature geometry is a result of the optimal use of the membrane material, which magma architecture has been experimenting with for a number of years, amongst others in the award winning head in I im kopf exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie in Germany.

Magma archtitecture was founded in 2003 by the architect Martin Ostermann and the exhibition designer Lena Kleinheinz. Central to our work is the use of complex geometric modeling as a way of creating a more spatially dynamic vocabulary. This is essential to better articulate and reflect the heterogenieity of our cities and global culture.

We seek to be part of a new paradigm within architecture – one that is expressionistic, rooted in non-linear form-making and facilitated by new materiality and cutting edge technologies.
