The DLR-RY in Bremen is a research building for the Deutsche
Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt located on the edge of the university
campus in Bremen, Germany. The existing Ecom1 building is interlinked by a bridge and
extended by a two level laboratory building.
The assembly of compact satellites and other aerospace equipment
requires highly specialized laboratory facilities and rooms. Clean rooms
and workshops for systems technology are required in addition to highly
specialised laboratory equipment and spaces. The outside of the
building is another indicator of technological innovation: showing close
resemblance to a heat shield, the façade is build out of a shell of
ceramic tiles with diamond-shaped fitting.
