The architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) have won first prize in the competition for the extension of Gebr. Heinemann Headquarters in Hamburg’s HafenCity. The new building designed for the Hamburg-based, tradition-rich trading company impressed the jury as “an independent urban-planning and architectural contribution characterized by timeless, harmoniously self-contained architecture.” Gebr. Heinemann, originally founded as a ship supplier in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt district in 1879 and now a well-known, modern Hanseatic trading house on the international travel market, invited eight architectural firms to participate in the competition.

The Talstation’s main features are characterized strongly by its geographic situation between the stream and the road. Driving south-west from Baiersbronn, the valley opens up and the Talstation is located on one of the elevated fields. Just like a stone or a piece of drift wood, the environment seems to have left its mark. Towards the south the building opens widely by using a deeply-placed post and beam facade forming a roofed terrace. The fully-glassed front of the structure offers a view of the amazing panorama of the valley, soon also of the WaldLoft Hotel which will be situated 220 metres higher, at 770 metres.

The Center for Advanced Mobility is a ground breaking symbiosis between nature and technology, functionality and dynamic form, as it combines high-performance laboratories with the urban environment. Wind studies were used to develop the dynamic space of the building which provides an optimal wind flow for the Aachen inner city and a maximization of ventilation for the building.

Zentral- und Landesbibliothek. General intentions: The proposal we submitted to the Competition is based in three dualities:
Open / closed: A library has become one of the few public places that still remaining affordable for citizens, where they are able to:
- Enjoy recreational activities (playing, eating, resting, reading…) and professional ones
- Shelter from uncomfortable weather conditions
We conceive a library as an open, public, free and comfortable meeting place; summing up, an urban lobby.

A world first in Wilhelmsburg: with the BIQ the IBA presents the first building worldwide with a bio-reactor facade. The algae used as a biomass for generating energy grow on the façade of the residential building. The façade also changes colour with the continued growth of the algae and thus appears to be “in motion”. The BIQ is a cubic, five-floor passive house designed by the architectural practice SPLITTERWERK in Graz. On the southwest and southeast sides of the building the facade has a second outer shell positioned in front of it: the bio-reactor facade. It consists of glass elements suffused with water, in which micro-algae are bred for the purposes of generating energy, for light control, and for providing shade for the building.

The untypical facade of coloured plain tiles make this house a peculiar new member of the urban fabric. Simultaneously the hasty passerby will not neccessarily take notice of the greenish structure blending with plants and trees deep in the gap between neighbouring buildings.
