OMA has completed a giant exhibition centre featuring a 700-metre-long hall with adaptable interiors between Toulouse and the surrounding French countryside.
The 155,000-square-metre complex, named MEETT, forms part of the city’s innovation district that is also home to Airbus’ airport hangar.
It comprises a mix of exhibition halls, outdoor public spaces and a transportation hub with a tram station, making it one of the largest exhibition centres in France, according to OMA.
OMA已建成一個巨型展覽中心，其大廳長700米，在圖盧茲和周圍的法國鄉村之間具有適應性強的內飾。
這座佔地15.5萬平方米的綜合大樓名為MEETT，是該市創新區的一部分，該區也是空客機場機庫的所在地。
根據OMA的說法，它包括展覽館，室外公共場所以及帶電車站的交通樞紐，使其成為法國最大的展覽中心之一。
MEETT is planned around three large, flexible structures positioned in parallel to each other. This includes the main polycarbonate exhibition hall on the north side, alongside a smaller convention centre to the south and a central reception area.
Their design and layout were developed by OMA with PPA Architectures and Taillandier Architectes Associés to reduce distances between venues, but also as a reference to the neighbouring aeronautical hangars and vast agricultural landscapes.
MEETT計劃圍繞三個彼此平行放置的大型柔性結構進行設計。 其中包括位於北側的主要聚碳酸酯展覽館，以及位於南部的較小的會議中心和中央接待區。
它們的設計和佈局是由OMA與PPA Architectures和Taillandier ArchitectesAssociés共同開發的，目的是縮短場地之間的距離，同時也可作為參考鄰近的飛機庫和廣闊的農業景觀。
“This project was an opportunity to develop an architectural design which relates to all scales,” explained OMA partner Chris van Duijn.
“The masterplan is inspired by the efficiency of the surrounding infrastructure, the openness and horizontality of the rural Occitanic landscape and the scale of the adjacent hangars,” he added.
“Each of the individual buildings is designed as a unique functional and flexible machine.”
OMA合夥人克里斯·範·杜伊恩（Chris van Duijn）解釋說：“該項目是開發與所有比例尺相關的建築設計的機會。”
他補充說：“總體規劃的靈感來自於周圍基礎設施的效率，鄉村Occitanic景觀的開放性和水平性以及相鄰機庫的規模。”
“每座建築物都被設計為獨特的功能性和靈活性機器。”
The north side structure is MEETT’s centrepiece, composed of a series of boxes that are wrapped in translucent polycarbonate and flood the interiors with natural light.
Named the Exhibition Hall, it contains 40,000 square metres of presentation space that can be transformed from a giant venue into seven smaller rooms using motorised curtains.
北側結構是MEETT的核心，由一系列由半透明聚碳酸酯包裹的盒子組成，並向室內註入自然光。
它被命名為展覽廳，其中包含40,000平方米的展示空間，可以使用電動窗簾將其從巨大的場地轉變為七個較小的房間。
The central structure, the Rue Centrale, is a 32,700-square-metre building containing the main entrance, ticket hall, circulation and an information centre – all of which are open to the outside.
These spaces are sheltered by a four-storey car park contained above, which can accommodate 3,000 vehicles and is enclosed by light green, perforated cladding.
中央結構Rue Centrale是一棟32,700平方米的建築，其中包括正門，售票廳，流通和信息中心，所有這些都向外界開放。
這些空間被上麵包含的四層停車場所掩蓋，該停車場可容納3,000輛汽車，並由淺綠色的多孔覆層包圍。
The final structure is the Event Hall and Convention Centre, located on the south side of the site, which houses a multifunctional event space.
Described by OMA as a “machine”, it incorporates a system of vertical shutters and horizontal partitions that allow the building to be opened out as a single space, or transformed into series of smaller meeting rooms.
Alternatively, the building can be opened out to the outside via a 13-metre-tall sliding facade, connecting it to a large outdoor event space beside it.
最終的結構是位於會場南側的活動廳和會議中心，裡面設有一個多功能活動空間。
它被OMA稱為“機器”，它結合了垂直百葉窗和水平隔板的系統，使建築物可以作為一個單獨的空間打開，或轉變為一系列較小的會議室。
另外，該建築物可以通過一個13米高的滑動立面向外敞開，將其連接到旁邊的大型戶外活動空間。
MEETT includes a transportation hub on the east side of the site, which includes a tram station, bus stops, a taxi rank and a bike park.
This transportation hub is connected to the main exhibition spaces via a 170-metre-long plaza and has also been designed by OMA to be easily expanded if required.
MEETT在站點的東側包括一個交通樞紐，其中包括一個電車站，巴士站，出租車站和一個自行車公園。
該交通樞紐通過一個170米長的廣場與主要展覽空間相連，並且由OMA設計，可以根據需要輕鬆擴展。
“By combining interior and exterior spaces, and establishing connections with the infrastructure – tramway, roads, airport – and surrounding countryside, a typically introvert typology, the expo, is transformed into an extrovert one,” concluded OMA.
“MEETT is not an architectural intervention, but an urban machine. Both monumental in its scale and subtle in its overall impact, it will be a new gateway to Toulouse.”
OMA總結道：“通過結合內部和外部空間，並與基礎設施（電車，道路，機場和周圍的鄉村）建立聯繫，通常是一種內向型的展覽會變成了外向型的展覽會。”
“ MEETT不是建築干預，而是城市機器。它的規模具有里程碑意義，而總體影響卻微妙，它將成為通往圖盧茲的新門戶。”
OMA is an international architecture studio founded in 1975 by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp and Zoe Zenghelis. Its name is an acronym for The Office for Metropolitan Architecture.
The studio has also recently completed the Tencent Beijing Headquarters in China, a department store in South Korea that is wrapped by a glass public walkway, and the Potato Head Studios resort in Bali.

OMA是一家國際建築工作室，由荷蘭建築師Rem Koolhaas，Elia Zenghelis，Madelon Vriesendorp和Zoe Zenghelis於1975年成立。 它的名字是大都會建築辦公室的縮寫。
該工作室最近還完成了位於中國的騰訊北京總部，由玻璃公共走道包裹的韓國百貨公司以及位於巴厘島的馬鈴薯頭工作室度假村。
