In close cooperation with Audi, gmp has created a modern world of work that is determined by an innovative design process combining the advantages of modern CAD visualization with those of conventional model building. Thanks to the succinct spatial division of the open-plan offices into “home base” zones with personal workplaces and communication areas, people can do concentrated work without being disturbed by others discussing ideas. In addition, the atria create a natural distance between the zones, seemingly dissolving the physical boundaries of the spaces.
In the shared model studio, the body styling designers work cheek-by-jowl with the designers of the interiors. In order to be able to get a true impression of the proportions of bodywork models, the almost columnless model studio, with a length of 100 meters, provides ideal conditions.
The public foyer with the adjacent exhibition area and café has become a place where people like to meet. Guests and employees, including those from other departments, visit the DCI in their breaks or get together for short meetings. The exhibition space is used by the designers to stage changing exhibitions that show their work.
