The vehicle proving ground located in Khanbogd, Mongolia, sits dormant in the desert until activated by motion. An interactive architecture provides a car testing facility including a flood and freezes hydroplane area, race track, crash zone, break test facilities and 2km of surface road textures for car suspension investigations.
The building is wedged in the Mongolian desert sub-rock that comes to life when in use; all cars are fitted with sensors to activate different testing areas of the building. The building ignites with motion, with glass viewing tunnels running alongside the race tracks. The race track can slide into the desert, separating itself from the main body of the structure, increasing the race track to up to 2km; this reveals a glass atrium and viewing platforms.
Solar panels line the elevated race tracks generating up to 4KW, providing all-year-round access to facilities and frozen grounds.
