As part of an urban planning competition, a technology center is to be built in the Huckarde district. Gerber Architekten is pleased to receive recognition for the competition entry. Our concept for this special location did not only deal with modern energy industry in terms of use. The architecture for the campus also reflects the guiding principle of future-oriented development through high energy efficiency, resource protection and sustainability.
In the textbook “Architecture and Knowledge – Spaces for the Future” published by Deutsches Architektur Verlag, Gerber Architekten is represented with a project from the field of educational buildings. The University of Applied Sciences in Würzburg-Schweinfurt was highlighted in the edition due to its close connection to the landscape and its handling of the unusual topography of the university campus. A total of 47 other exemplary projects from the areas of day-care centres and kindergartens, primary and secondary schools as well as adult education are used to vividly demonstrate the solutions and ideas that architecture has in store for the demands made on it.

The Ruhr University Bochum has established a new centre of excellence for materials science, the ZGH. With around 3,000 square metres of usable space, the new building with its adjoining low-rise building offers around 80 scientists room for interdisciplinary research into new high-performance materials. With its polygonal cubature framed by a dark metal façade, the building closes the gap between the high-rise buildings IA and IB as well as IAFO. An entrance hall extending over all floors is the identity-forming centre of the new research building and allows a view into the clean rooms, which are not accessible, through large windows. The research centre, built by BLB NRW, was financed in equal parts by the federal government and the state. Numerous representatives from politics and science attended the ceremonial opening at the beginning of May.
After the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Allianz Park took place virtually last year, the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone took place directly on the construction site in Stuttgart-Vaihingen at the end of April. Prof. Eckhard Gerber, Stuttgart’s Lord Mayor Dr. Frank Nopper, the CEO of Allianz Leben Katja de la Vina and Baden-Württemberg’s Minister for Regional Development Nicole Razavi were present at the official ceremony. In a festive setting, they filled the time capsule and congratulated Allianz Leben on its 100th anniversary.
The new Group headquarters is being built on a 50,000 square metre site in Stuttgart-Vaihingen and will serve as the future headquarters of Allianz Leben. The three-part building ensemble will provide the employees of the insurance group with modern and agile office and working environments. The construction of Allianz Park Stuttgart is aiming for platinum certification in accordance with the standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
