ajando Loft Concept: Information Is the Building Material of Our Universe
A very unusual loft is being created in the Mannheim harbor district.ajando reception desk |
Information Makes the World Go Round
A digital preview of the ajando loft in the
Mannheim harbor district.
With this knowledge in the back of
their heads, our team of architects at loftwerk as well as the architect Peter
Stasek went to work developing a concept for the ajando loft in the Mannheimer harbor park
You might consider such a project impossible. How can you design something so
thoroughly material such as a loft in an old industrial building if there is no
material at all? But you couldn't be more wrong! These creative minds
recognized the connection: Information is not only the essence of our world,
but also the essence of ajando.
Obtaining Information from Data
And that's as true as true can be!
Real information is only obtained when we combine, visualize and present the
right data in the right way. Information that inspires and motivates people.
This is a very fundamental core skill at ajando. "The dynamics of this
information flow can be seen as the driving element of the complete
company," Peter Stasek explains. Consequently, the architecture office
made the data and information flows of ajando visible in our corporate
architecture concept.
This starts with the layout of the
rooms, for example. "The concept for the paths and the room are one and
the same" is the motto, which was formulated by the famous Viennese
architect Josef M. Hoffmann. "Just like with information, the visitor is
to be guided in the most direct way to the place where the reason for his visit
is maintained, consulted, processed and forwarded," according to Mr. Stasek.
As a result, the loft from ajando becomes a live cross-media platform in real
life with perfect usability. An ajando room is created for social and
informative convergence, for dialog and the sharing of ideas.
Information Visualization with Light
Waves
Even the design of lighting is part
of the corporate architecture concept. "The illumination of the corridors,
the lobby as well as the open-plan office were designed under the motto
"Light as a wave, light as a particle," our architect Mr. Stasek explains.
Single-color, wave-shaped LED strips will illuminate the outer walls draped
with textile starting in mid-October. Sound installations will also give them
another aesthetic dimension.
The brick masonry opposite shines in
colored light as a contrast. White snowflakes fall softly and continuously in
the half-open stairway shell – a projection of light. "The gliding of
these light particles mirrors the information flow at ajando and consequently
displays the complete strategy of the company as a binding and never resting
element," Mr. Stasek comments.
Not a lot of this can be seen yet –
our loft is still under construction. However, because we take the topic
"information flow" very seriously, we will keep you informed of
progress: You can see how our ceiling lights, steel beams and gallery are being
installed on our Facebook page. Be there when we start the
countdown to the move-in day. And then stop by and visit us in our cross-media
loft!
