Factory Building on the Vitra Campus by SANAA
Opening [Vitra Campus, Weil am Rhein] Germany 19/04/2013
This production facility was designed by the Japanese architects SANAA. It has been a part of the Vitra Campus since 2010, except for the facade, which was completed in 2012 and opening on 19 April 2013. The building is rounded in shape, but not quite circular, and is composed of two half-round concrete shells that are connected to one another. The oval form optimises logistical processes by allowing trucks sufficient room for circulating in.

A new expansion phase began in 2006 with...
