Campus Restaurant, Ditzingen

This pavilion provides a new central cafeteria and event space for Trumpf’s Stuttgart-based industrial campus and headquarters. It is the new social center for the company for both blue and white-collar workers. The building is conceived of as a freestanding pavilion (as opposed to the nearby factories which are continuously expanded on) enhancing its role visibly on the campus as the event space it is intended for. The pavilion, with seating for 700, enables the company’s 2000 employees to lunch around three time slots in the large central space with reserve seating in a mezzanine. When programmed for events, the space functions as an auditorium with seating for 800.

The roof structure was developed with the renowned Stuttgart-based structural engineer Werner Sobek. The intention was to create a polygonal leaf-like canopy that achieves long spans over groups of columns. The structure combines a steel frame and columns with a glulaminated wood-cell infill. These wood cells are functionally “coded” and constructed either as skylights with solar-glass, as perforated wood acoustic planking, or as artificial lighting cells modified by an aluminum-honeycombed deflector. In order to economically achieve this highly complex structure CNC routing and sawing was employed to accommodate the more than 300 unique honeycomb joints.
