| Description: |
At 56 stories and just under 1,000 feet, the Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt is Germany's tallest building, and the second tallest in the European Union. |
| Synopsis: |
Yet its height is not the only distinguishing feature of this iconic building. As this illustrated guide to its design and construction reveals, the Commerzbank Tower is also the world's first ecological high-rise office building. This sleek and beautifully designed book explores every aspect of Norman Foster's pioneering project - from the central spirraling atrium, which allows for natural light and ventilation to the outside gardens which give the building a sense of airiness and transparency. One of Foster + Partners' most influential projects, the Commerzbank Tower wields a low impact on the environment, while at the same time offering its immediate neighbourhood an attractive site for social and cultural events. |
