Phot.Düsseldorf.Gehry.Build.Medienhafen.01.071212.1202.jpg
Germany, Düsseldorf, „Gehry Buildings“ at the Düsseldorf media harbour. One of the ensemble of three buildings by the Canadian-US architect Frank Owen Gehry built in 1996/1998, he is world-wide renown by his deconstructive architecture, which is like his fingerprint.
Just as the old castle tower, only a few hundred yards downriver posted, the traditional & popular symbol of the former royal residence is & remains.
Gehry's harbour has become the most admired ensemble, most talked about & most photographed building in town. Curves, strange angles, distorted walls, protruding window frames, seemingly haphazard in the corrugated skin of the building. Different heights & levels, varying alignments & projections produce three solitaires that create the picture.
The uniqueness of each tower is determined by the choice of material for the outer skin very stressed. Smooth plastered the first tower in sheer white, but rather unspectacular addition to "Building B" is covered with the shiny silver stainless steel sheets. The curved surface can often reflected the sunlight again & flashed again. The third tower of the brick facade, which is on the bizarre architecture of a very modern look. The calculation of the load-bearing walls & floors was performed using a special architectural design program. The buildings seem so strange from the outside, functional & straightforward, the internal architecture. As many right angles are also & especially in the inclined external walls guarantee rational use.
Highly complex calculation & design were the nearly 1,600 windows in the three buildings. Gehry's idea, every window to put in a box to compensate for the different inclinations & angles, was brilliantly simple - but do not realize that simple. The variety of exterior walls required extremely detailed designs. It finally turned out, had 1531 individual window boxes designed, manufactured & installed. Long been controversial in Dusseldorf & in the growing media port, whose face they have a decisive impact. Advertising & media agencies in the Gehry buildings found their home, business consultants & designers work there door to door. With the Gehry buildings in Düsseldorf has "Mile of the creative & media" found its first milestone.
