The slenderness of the tower Frankfurt, Germany is extraordinary. Combined with a folded façade, Dominique Perrault Architecture created a unique shape. The occupation of the DCT 1 is divided into three parts: In the lower third of the tower there is a hotel area, in the middle is an office area, and in the top third of the tower are the Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Bollinger has studied Civil Engineering residential floors. A reinforced concrete structure was used for the DCT 1. Flat slabs span between at the Darmstadt Technical University and taught at Dortmund University, Germany. Since 1994, he has been the core and the columns. Lateral stiffness to resist wind and seismic loads was achieved by two assigned Professor for Structural Engineering at the School of elements: a strong concrete core with walls of up to 1m thickness and outrigger slabs of 2m Architecture/University of Applied Arts at Vienna and since thickness above the MEP plant floor levels which activate the columns.

They delivered their reduce wind accelerations. Thanks to the close cooperation of all parties, the building could services, among others, for the New ECB-Premises, Frankfurt (185m), the DC Tower, Vienna (220m), the Blade, Seoul be successfully completed and was among the finalists of the CTBUH Award: Best Tall Building (292.5m), and SkyWalk Residence, Seoul (333m).

The construction of the second Alexander Berger Project Manager tower DCT 2 is currently postponed. Bollinger + Grohmann, Frankfurt, Germany The occupation of the DCT 1 is divided into three parts: In the lower third of the tower there is hotel, in the middle part office use, and in the top third of the tower there are residential floors. Alexander Berger joined Bollinger + Grohmann Ingenieure in 1996. In his current position as a project manager he is The structural design of the DC Tower was done by a corporation of the engineers of Bollinger responsible for the structural design of a variety of national Grohmann Schneider (BGS), with Gmeiner and international projects of different scales throughout all design stages. Mr. Berger has a profound knowledge in the Haferl (GH), both located in Vienna. Due to lateral analysis of buildings, especially high-rise buildings, wind the complex structural challenges, it was engineering and seismic design. Among many other projects he has been in the team of the New ECB-Premises, Frankfurt agreed to perform all calculations separately (185m), DC Tower, Vienna (220m), The Blade , Soul (292.5m), in both offices by independent analysis and (170m), SkyWalk Residence, Seoul (333m), KT Headquarter, Seoul (110m), Opera Tower, Frankfurt (170m). different software (BGS: Etabs, GH: SCIA). Thus it was possible to check the structural systems and the analysis results thoroughly and independently from each other. The design of the DCT 1 follows the Austrian Code B4700, which complies with Eurocode 2 for concrete reinforced structures [5]. The structural challenges, which mainly result from the slenderness of the building, were to provide a structural system which was feasible to resist gravity loads, wind and seismic loads as well as to limit deformations and accelerations due to wind loads.

Such an ambitious goal must be guided not only by an emblematic architectural project that can be adapted to future needs, but also a landscape project that transfigures the area, highlighting the built legacy, the historical heritage of the racecourse, and especially the green heritage of the Bois de Bou- logne, which originated in the composition designed by Alphand in the 19th century. The race for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is the highpoint of the life of the racecourse. Therefore, the main challenge of this project is for it to be able to host this event, which draws up to 60,000 spec- tators, under exceptional conditions, while also welcoming a much smaller crowd on ordinary racing days. This is why the project proposes to deconstruct all the stands dating from the 1960s and to replace them with only one stand, which is both more compact and more functional. Buildings housing support services for the horse races, which are currently scattered around the site, will also be demolished and rebuilt in the form of pavilions.

    Press Release 22 May 2007 STRABAG subsidiary mandated to build Opernturm high-rise in Frankfurt Ed. Züblin AG receives contract worth EUR 230 million – construction of mega-project set to start in the summer of 2007 STRABAG subsidiary Ed. Züblin AG, Stuttgart, has been awarded the contract to build the 170-metre- tall Opernturm project in Frankfurt’s Westend. Opernplatz Property Holdings GmbH & Co. KG contracted Züblin at the end of April for the turnkey construction of the 44-storey skyscraper opposite Frankfurt’s historic Old Opera. The site was acquired by US real estate developer Tishman Speyer, which also built Frankfurt’s Messeturm skyscraper, in 2004. The project, designed by architect Christoph Mäckler, will comprise the Opernturm office tower as well as a seven-storey perimeter block development with a total of 60,000 m² of rentable area. Shops and restaurants will be housed in the two-storey arcade at the tower’s base. An underground parking garage with 580 parking spaces is also planned in the building’s two or three basement floors. Spaces will also be available for visitors of the Old Opera. Züblin Spezialtiefbau GmbH, as part of a working consortium (“Arbeitsgemeinschaft”), is currently at work to excavate the foundation pit and lay the foundation. The actual high-rise construction is to begin on 1 July 2007. Upon completion in the autumn of 2009, the Opernturm, being built at an investment of EUR 230 million, will add a further architectural highlight to the Frankfurt skyline. The first tenant has already been secured – Swiss bank UBS has leased 60 % of the rental space for its German branch office.
