As a big industrial country, Germany deserves to be in the forefront of the world in the industrialization of construction. Rigorous Germans seem to prefer concrete, a thick material, and the construction method like building blocks. Precast concrete components are used to create a constantly changing skin style for buildings.
City Theatre, Kaimnis
The theater has an impressive concrete facade. The integration of traditional materials with modern design styles is a global trend in today's concrete architecture. The prefabricated construction method of geometric splicing combines the concepts of parametric design and ecological process. The change of lines makes the three-dimensional sense of the building stand out and make it more beautiful. The ingenious design of the exterior wall is made up of a number of twisted and bulging concrete precast unit walls, which is full of movement. The hollowed-out place shows the lining, and the black and white color matching increases the level and changes.
In order to form a dynamic appearance and indicate the nature of Total as a company operating energy power, the external load-bearing skin of the building is composed of precast concrete members with different facets to form a changing skin. The skin lattice emphasizes the vertical lines of the building by increasing the depth and sculpture of the components. The pattern of the grid is staggered, like a thick curtain wrapping the entire building. It is also the excess of internal private space and external public space.
The load-bearing exterior wall is composed of prefabricated concrete components with various surfaces, creating a constantly changing skin style for the building. These countless prefabricated components eventually combined into a T-shaped wall panel, 7.35 meters high and 2.4 meters wide. The great advantage of such concrete materials is their high fire resistance, which allows them to effectively protect the steel bars wrapped in the material.
The architect can build almost exactly the same as his design, which can be said to be a small miracle. In particular, the facade of the building is very unusual. The striking load-bearing exterior wall consists of two basic modules: the inner transparent floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, and the outer smooth precast concrete components. The concrete components are like wind-blown grass, flexible and open-minded. The light faintly revealed in the glass curtain wall is bright and warm. This mix of hardness and softness coincides with the urban image of Mannheim.
Repeated attempts in the practice of neoclassicism and contemporary architecture merged the National Library with the library of the Technical University of Dresden to create the new Saxon National Library. Contrary to the naturalism of the lawn, it is the row of black precast concrete cement columns displayed at the main entrance of the library that awakens the neoclassical grandeur of Berlin's Schinkel's Altes Museum. The entrance is looming, displayed through some small openings off the center, as if emerging from the horizontal, like a picturesque English garden grotto.
Leonardo Glass Cube Exhibition Hall
Located in Frankfurt, Germany, Leonardo Glass Cube is a multi-functional exhibition hall designed by 3Deluxe. The internal mesh structure is formed by connecting 187 white concrete prefabricated parts. The external prefabricated parts are used to outline a beautiful cuboid outline, which echoes the winding roads around and is integrated. The addition of glass elements is the finishing touch of the building, and the architect's unique conception is comparable to the design of the Water Cube.
