Dom-Ino System Explanation

The architectonical education of Le Corbusier came from experience garnered in the offices of Auguste Perret (1908-1909) and Peter Behrens.

Perret, as the Greeks did translating the wood construction rules to stone, translated the rules to reinforced concrete, in this times he was the one with widest knowledge of how to use it. From Perret he acquired a firm understanding of reinforced concrete, and from Behrens he learned about designing for industry. He combined these two strains in the Dom-Ino system (1914), made in response to the outbreak of World War I.

Anticipating that destruction caused by the fighting would increase the demand for rebuilding when hostilities ended, Le Corbusier proposed a mass-produced housing scheme that reduced components to a minimum: floor slabs, regularity spaced piers for vertical support, and stairs to connect the floors, Inherent in the design was the possibility of factory fabrication of these parts near the construction site and rapid erection of the frame by crane.

The subdivision of the interior and precise weatherproof enclosure of the exterior would be left to the discretion of the builders so that local preferences could be observed.

There used to be a strong relationship between companies and their architecture, but nowadays German business parks would hardly be the first place to go if you are looking for ambitious architecture. Textile company “Ernsting’s Family” is an exception. It maintains that a good working atmosphere derives from good buildings.

The company had the likes of Santiago Calatrava and David Chipperfield design the buildings on their premises. In 2003, Ernsting started an architecture competition solely for fresh graduates, which we have been able to win with a simple and sensible concept. The 500 car parking garage in Coesfeld-Lette closes the business district off from the neighbouring residential development by means of a long stretched-out solidium.

In addition to making very good functional use of the site, the structure takes the form of two opposed ramps. The two separate, 127 m-long building volumes contain two sloping [3.2 %] levels each, making additional ramps unnecessary. This left space to design parking levels with a generous height of 3.06 m, and also left a lot of the surrounding area untouched.

The 2.40 m wide central area allows light and air to flow through the two building parts, making the structure appear friendly and welcoming. The cascade stairs and platforms inside the building gap, created using galvanized gratings, support this light and airy theme. The wide-span, unsupported steel structure contrasts with the bright concrete filigree floors and the Douglas façade.

The open wooden façade gives the car park its natural appearance and from the outside a friendly and bright character. Through the natural colour of the wood arises inside a warm atmosphere. The "garden fence façade" is the ideal intermediary between the residential area on one side and the industrial area on the other side.

The expressive folding doors are reminiscent of the folding doors of the two distribution centres on the premises by Santiago Calatrava and Johannes Schilling, adding a third type of gate to them. "The folding doors seem to wink at the garden fences of the housing area close by, making the building into a big, abstract and friendly neighbour." [Florian Heilmeyer, Mark Magazine #15]
