The vast structure, covering ca 618 by 246 yards of ground, makes for a spectacular spatial experience in its main exhibition hall that offers 484,376 square feet of column-free floor space. OMA also took an unusual path with regard to the configuration and transport connection of the entire complex. Rather than sealing even more ground with tarmac for endless car parks, it concentrated them into a compact multi-storey parking garage at the heart of the complex that also serves as a general traffic hub for MEETT Toulouse.<\/p>\n<p>The book offers impressions of MEETT Toulouse&rsquo;s enormous dimensions and the vast spaces it provides through images taken by French photographer Marco Cappelletti. The volume is rounded out with selected plans and concise texts on the particulars of the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A building monograph featuring the new MEETT Toulouse exhibition and convention centre, the latest major design by Rotterdam-based Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA with mastermind Rem Koolhaas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18844,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559,5485],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-16809","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"product_cat-photography","8":"author-contributions-by-bernard-vaudeville","9":"author-contributions-by-dominique-boudet","10":"author-contributions-by-jean-attali","11":"author-edited-by-dominique-boudet","12":"author-photographs-by-marco-cappelletti","13":"publisher-park-books","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>OMA \u2013 Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Center - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: OMA \u2013 Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Center, Pages: 108 Pages, Publish Date: 16th Nov 2020, Author: Contributions by Bernard Vaudeville, Contributions by Dominique Boudet, Contributions by Jean Attali, Edited by Dominique Boudet, Photographs by Marco Cappelletti, ISBN: 9783038602132.
