AVUS Tribüne

REFERENCE PROJECT

AVUS Tribüne

AVUS Tribüne was built in 1936 along the Autobahn: A115, better known as AVUS, the first highway in the world and race track to test the latest advances in auto engineering. It fell into disrepair, but has been renovated as event, office, and media space. eyrise® provides instant solar shading during the day while protecting drivers from distracting outward shining interior light at night. The structure is a listed historic monument so conventional glass and mechanical blinds were not permitted by the local authorities, and it was only by using eyrise’s innovative glass technology that the project could succeed. The outer pane was etched to create a matt surface that eliminates the blinding reflection from car lights and sun, while a screen-printed pattern was integrated into the inner pane, creating a slightly opaque digital ‘curtain’ effect that reduces light disturbance to motorway users. It has become a striking piece of architecture which gives visitors a unique viewpoint over the motorway.
