OMA — Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Center
With the new MEETT Toulouse exhibition and convention center, Dutch office OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) once again demonstrates its capacity to transform a seemingly mundane project for a commercial complex into an architecture that is both striking in its sheer scale and refined down to the smallest details. An elongated parking garage serves as the main axis and heart of a spectacular (600 meters long) yet simple
(consisting of three parallel strips) and efficient machine for managing— and generating—large-scale events. With its large format and featuring remarkable photographs by Marco Cappelletti, this book successfully manages to capture the extraordinary spatial quality of the MEETT.
