The Europa Galerie is Saarbrucken's latest shopping attraction. Its
architectural sophistication: The modern Center incorporates the
historic building of the mining directorate constructed in 1880. The
roof design was realized by Temme Obermeier.
They installed specially printed ETFE pneumatic skins. These components
are stable and protect the building's interior from rain and snow. The
design's optical appeal is due to the extraordinary printing of the
foils in different color intensities. The installation mounted on an
aluminum frame opens the space up to the sky and allows bright sunlight
to flood the Galerie all day long. This is what makes each shopping
tour an extraordinary shopping event.
