The development, constructed out of prefabricated high insulation timber panels and energy-efficient glazing, is articulated as a classic modernist intervention: a box set into a traditional pitched roof atop a standard three-storey house. Villa W Design: Ian Shaw Architekten  image from architect Villa W - 4 Apr 2013 This white, monolithic housewill reside in a suburb of Frankfurt. From the street it will appear impenetrable, so delineating a clear demarcation between the public and private realms.The building’sfront elevation is articulated as a series of windowless blocks, its recessed entranceway the only glazed element of its north facing façade. Frankfurt Airport Terminal 1 Forecourt Building Design: Grimshaw  image : Grimshaw Frankfurt Airport Forecourt Building - 14 Dec 2012 Grimshaw is delighted to announce that it has completed a detailed masterplanning study for Fraport which provides a new vision for the existing forecourt area at Frankfurt Airport’s Terminal 1. Grimshaw’s defining concept for the masterplan is to bring light, greenery and fresh air into the heart of the airport. The current forecourt at Frankfurt Terminal 1 is a kilometre long strip of private and public transport modes, that has no sense of order and no respite from the noise and fumes of associated vehicles. Frankfurt Airport : Extension of gate A Architect: gmp · Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner  photo © Marcus Bredt, Berlin Frankfurt Airport Building - 2 Oct 2012 This building is about 800 meters long, with an area of 185,000 sqm and designed for up to six million passengers a year. On 10 October 2012, Fraport and Lufthansa start operations in the extension of gate A at Rhein-Main airport, Frankfurt, which has been designed and implemented by the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp). The inauguration of the building will take place on 2 October. Tower 185 Building Prof. Christoph Mäckler Architekten  photo © Klaus Helbig Tower 185 Building - 18 Jul 2012 Germany’s fourth-highest office building – marks the gateway to the new Europa district in Frankfurt am Main and adds a new dimension to the city’s silhouette. The Tower 185 ensemble is made up of two main components: the perimeter block and the tower itself. The style of the perimeter block takes its cue from the urban framework of this European city and forms the layout at street level. The levels, materials and colours of the neighbouring buildings – beige stone walls and slate roofs – have been reflected in the new development. Blue Night at Frankfurt Stock Exchange ATELIER BRÜCKNER, Architects  photo : Uwe Dettmar, Frankfurt am Main Frankfurt Stock Exchange Building - 12 Apr 2012 On Sunday 14 April, the Large Trading Hall at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will be transformed into an artistic installation reflecting the theme "Technology and Man". Working with the light artist Ingo Bracke of Studio Kybra, ATELIER BRÜCKNER developed a subtle choreography of light and sound that makes it possible to experience the leading German share-trading location in a new way. From 6:00 p.m. until midnight, visitors can take a look into the illuminated hall without having to make an appointment in advance. KfW-building : “Best Tall Building in the World 2011” sauerbruch hutton  image © Sauerbruch Hutton KfW Westarkade Building The 85m high-rise is a prototype for a new generation of ecological building, running on less than 100 kWh/a/m² of primary energy it is one of the most energy-efficient office towers in the world. The streamlined form integrates itself into its surrounding context, while simultaneously standing out through the playful use of colour. At the same time it addresses the prevailing wind to exploit it for controlled natural ventilation within the building. German Film Museum ATELIER BRÜCKNER  photo : Uwe Dettmar, Frankfurt/Main German Film Museum Frankfurt The German Film Museum in Frankfurt am Main presents visitors a completely renovated building containing an inspiring, high-quality permanent exhibition. In an exhibition area of 800 sqm spread out over two floors, a compact setting is revealed that works with the means and methods of film and, at the same time, reflects them. Narrative spaces, dramaturgically conceived down to the smallest details, immerse the visitor in the world of film. Zeilgalerie shopping centre 3deluxe in/exterior - red dot award  picture from architect Zeilgalerie shopping centre Frankfurt The redesign of this Frankfurt shopping centre, which opened in 1992, includes a completely new look for the façade and a full makeover of the public areas inside the complex. Due to the paramount significance of the front of the building in terms of typology and how it fits into the urban setting, the architects' design concept focuses closely on the architectural surface and its deepening in content, structure and materials. The building façade’s unusual black and white colours, its filigree ornamentation and the integrative interaction of architecture, graphic design and light orchestration create a distinctive character for the building on Zeil.
