Booster Station South

The program for the pumping-station consists of a voltage space, an overhead crane, three pumps, a bypass and an entrance. In the design all these different element come together in an efficient system, fit for the purpose and compact as an engine. With a clinging, aerodynamic skin the Booster Station presents itself as a streamlined engine that is connected to the underground sewage by incoming and outgoing ducts and pipes.

With its cladding of stainless steel panels it reflects the movements, shapes and colours of the environment. At night the buildings tectonics come to the surface. The illuminated seams in the steal skin make the pumping-engine look like a mesh-model. Mass turns into mesh.
