For a sound barrier at the Amsterdam International Airport we porposed an acoustically absorptive “land”scape not made of “land” a MOONscape, made of mundane everyday agrarian materials typical to the area. Vast storage sheds, built of recycled materials, filled with recycled permanent content (i.e. construction rubble) in the areas where sound reduction is most needed. The roofscape is used to create the iconic image of the moonscape, as well as control storm water flow.
