Administration Building in Darmstadt
Forming one phase of a series of developments on this site, the building consists of two identical office tracts connected at various points. General areas such as the foyer, conference room, canteen, display and sales rooms are located centrally at the base between the two strips. At the level above this, a bridge forms a direct link between the two groups of offices. It consists of a 22-metrelong prestressed concrete element from which the actual walkway is suspended by means of a steel structure. The frameless single glazing to this bridge serves solely as a protection against wind and rain.
