The Research Center lines up with other new and
existing buildings around the new campus center. Placed in heterogeneous
surroundings, the building avoids unequivocal morphological and typological
relations, yet it is precisely positioned. On the ground floor, the pedestrian
traffic between city and campus is lead through a public passage. Spaces open
to the public as well as the controlled entrance to the research Institutes,
which are located around a central atrium on the laboratory floors above, are
accessible from here. The flexible structure of the plan is interspersed with
communicative zones which result from the play between free form space and
rationally ordered content.

The facade
consists of scaled frames made from aluminium anodized in 32 different shades.
Each of the five building fingers is assigned a color range; at the transitions
between the fingers gradients of color and brightness mediate between the
primary colors. Through the varied orientation of the elements and the
permanently changing reflections on the aluminum induced by the weather a
lively play on the facade comes into being.
