Other Projects by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners Architects LLP
NASCAR Hall of Fame
Charlotte, NC, United States
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2010
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
Curving, sloped forms echo the sinuous shape of the racetrack and the essential quality of speed, which is at the heart of the NASCAR spectacle.
Beginning as a curved, sloping exterior wall enclosing the building, a free spanning ribbon twists over the main entry to form a welcoming canopy. The long, thin incisions in this metal skin are analogous to the blur of a car racing past the spectator at tremendous speed. A large glazed oval forms the Great Hall, the symbolic core of the Hall of Fame, and the primary visitor entrance. In this hall, a curved, banked ramp leads the visitor from the main floor to the exhibit levels above. The ramp contains a display of race cars frozen mid-race, once again capturing the speed and spectacle that is the essence of the sport.
