Science Museum Heidelberg, Germany
We were approached by a branding office, which was developing a new strategy to attract highly educated researchers to the booming biotech industry in Heidelberg, Germany. Heidelberg is a small town with one\u00a0of the oldest university in Germany, and generally\u00a0considered a bit old-fashioned. We proposed a museum of biotechnology, that would not only host\u00a0exhibition spaces but also\u00a0a real research laboratory, where visitors could witness processes\u00a0as well as experiment themselves. The glasshouse structure would provide space for high tech research within a bioclimatic environment for plants and animals, where experiments and their results could be seen directly.\u00a0 After a long discussion the American owner of the land moved\u00a0the location to the newly abandoned Tempelhof airport in Berlin. The airport where during the blockade of 1948 planes were landing day and night to feed the city was going to be closed and converted. The project would provide a centre for research on all forms of mobility and surprisingly our design proved flexible enough and was selected. So we moved the whole project to the now discarded\u00a0runway in front of the historical terminal building form the 1930\u2019s. Following\u00a0protests over the reuse of the defunct airport and its redevelopment as a park, the project is\u00a0looking for a new location.
