Concept

The main concept of the design is to separate the different elements of the building according to their lifetime and thus to make them independent. A flexible building must be able to change over time. The structure, technical installations, facade and furniture function as separate systems, and can react flexibly to changes without adversely affecting each other through different periods of life but nevertheless complement each other. The architecture of the building therefore is “non-existant”
