| Description: |
In this volume Ingenhoven Overdiek Kahlen and Partner's building in Essen, recognized as the first ecological highrise building, is presented in detail from the first planning stages to completion. The high-rise building for the RWE AG in Essen was completed at the end of 1996. |
| Synopsis: |
The high-rise building for the RWE AG in Essen was completed at the end of 1996. Design for multi-storey buildings has previously undergone much development due to the demands of this particular style, but now this model developed in a wind tunnel has provided a decisive step forward in the design of high-rise buildings. The design demonstrates a high degree of energy efficiency, recognising the constraints of natural resources, and incorporating them to advantage in the architecture and technology of the building. A second skin in the form of a glass cylinder 120m high permits natural ventilation and enables roof terraces to be created even at this height. A simple, logical concept and intelligent technological solutions allow the requirements of the user regarding daylight and ventilation to be addressed and solved. |
