Appreciation towards GRAFT Gesellschaft von Architekten for providing the following description:

大众汽车在奥尔胡斯汽车城建起一座Autostadt服务厅。该亭覆盖面积达到1500平方米，为汽车购买者提供一个安静明亮，避免雨淋和阳光直射的开放式节能场所。使用者能在这里尝试驾驶辅助系统比如自动停车还有制动距离控制等功能，以便未来驾驶更安全。设计最终定位一片轻盈的白色大屋顶，自然光充分的进入屋顶下方。如同树木的叶子，优美造型的屋顶和谐的与景观相处，此外落地点仅有两处。它优雅的曲线造型，在天空与风景间的展开，欢迎到访这里的每一位朋友。用户可以在这里咨询，进行配件购买还有获取相关，其中部分建筑隐匿在屋顶和景观之下，保证这片“树叶”的完美。

Driver assistance systems, including automatic parking, traffic sign recognition and automatic distance control, are becoming more common in today’s cars. The new ‘Ausfahrt’ at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg offers guests an opportunity to try out these technical systems in models manufactured by Volkswagen. This helps to ensure safer driving in road traffic. 

GRAFT was commissioned to create a quiet area where the buyer of a new car could get familiar with all the functions in an almost private atmosphere. The space had to be protected from rain and direct sunlight, while allowing enough daylight to avoid the usage of energetically expensive and unnecessary artificial light.

GRAFT developed the idea of a horizontal leaf that protects the landscape underneath with its organic form. “WES-Landschaftsarchitektur” planned the landscape surrounding the roof. In the architectural application of this image, it was necessary to produce the greatest possible lightness: A special static principle allows for the unique roof structure to be anchored in just two points. It lays in the landscape and defines a clear and protected room. The planning of the structural framework was done by “Schlaich Bergmann und Partner”.

The orientation of the roof represents a welcoming gesture through its curvature. The elegant amorphous geometry of the roof structure forms an evident bridge between top and bottom, between sky and landscape.

The associated service pavilion fulfills various functions: the customer can ask questions about his new car, purchase accessories or get information about Autostadt attractions and activities. As the roof follows the concept of a leaf, the pavilion is integrated into the architectural landscape and not designed as a separate building. Basic forms of the roof can be found in the interior architecture.
