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. STRABAG SE is one of Europe’s leading construction groups. With nearly 53,000 employees, STRABAG expects to post revenue of around EUR 11 billion in the ongoing financial year. From its core markets Austria and Germany, STRABAG is present via its numerous subsidiaries in all countries of Eastern and South-East Europe, in selected markets in Western Europe and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in Canada, Chile and India. STRABAG’s activities span the entire construction industry (Building Construction and Civil Engineering, Road Construction, Services) and cover the entire value-added chain in the field of construction.

Megacities – Megarisks Trends and Challenges for Insurance and Risk Management Traffic and Spatial Problems in Megacities Pose a Special Challenge for City Planners
Knowledge series Megacities – Megarisks Trends and challenges for insurance and risk management Traffic and spatial problems in megacities pose a special challenge for city planners. These problems can only be overcome by designing unconventional structures, as illustrated here by the city freeway in Shanghai. Earthquake catastrophes have shown, however, that bridges and flyovers are often highly prone to losses. Munich Re, Megacities – Megarisks Foreword Global urbanisation and rural-to-urban migration are among the megatrends of our time – together with population growth, the overexploitation of natural resources, environmental pollution and globalisation – that will have the most lasting impact on the future of mankind. However, as with other developments, even a model for success – as cities undoubtedly are in view of their positive inﬂuence on culture, economic activity, technologies and networks – will even- tually reach its limits and, once the negative effects exceed the positive ones, necessitate a change in paradigm. A megacity is a prime example of such a critical stage of development: an organism with more than ten million living cells gradually risks being suffo- cated by the problems it has itself created – like traffic, environmental damage and crime. This is especially true where growth is too rapid and unorganic, as is the case in most megacities in emerging and developing countries. As the trend towards megacities gathers pace, opportunities and risks go hand in hand and undergo major changes over time. Munich Re therefore began to consider these problems at an early stage, beginning in the 1990s and gradually examining a series of important aspects in its publications.

Ein Hochhaus hebt sich dabei deutlich sichtbar von allen anderen ab: der Messeturm. Von Stararchitekt Helmut Jahn geplant und von 1988 bis 1991 errichtet, setzte das damals höchste Gebäude Europas eine Benchmark und ist noch heute ein Wahrzeichen, das einen besonderen Platz im Bild der Stadt und in den Herzen der Menschen einnimmt. Kein Wunder, denn der Messeturm hat Außergewöhnliches zu bieten: Eine ikonische Form, die an Some are known, Art-déco-Legenden wie das Chrysler-Building oder Empire State Building erinnert. Eine fantastische Lage. Die Exklusivi- tät einer eigenen Postleitzahl. Und das spannende Format eines Klassikers, der jetzt ein neues Kapitel aufschlägt. Regardless of whether you approach Frankfurt from the motorway, look out of the window of an aeroplane, ONLY ONE or cross one of the bridges by train, the first thing you will see is the skyline and its commanding presence.

Game of Associations: the Shape of a Tall Building
ROBERT MUSIAŁ* GAME OF ASSOCIATIONS: THE SHAPE OF A TALL BUILDING GRA W SKOJARZENIA: KSZTAŁT WIEżOWCA A b s t r a c t Tall buildings, which refer to spiral, pyramid or obelisk shapes, or the shape of a gate or triumphal arch, may resemble old buildings of symbolic importance. Tall build- ings that relate to these shapes and forms and are associated with them are still being designed. The relatively easy recognition of these building shapes is used to create distinctive large-scale landmarks. Keywords: shape of a tall building, spiral shape, pyramid shape, obelisk, gate, triumphal arch S treszczenie Wieżowce, które nawiązują do kształtu spiralnego, piramidalnego, formy obelisku oraz do kształtu bramy lub łuku triumfalnego, mogą przypominać dawne budowle o znaczeniu symbolicznym. Wciąż projektowane są wieżowce, które nawiązują do wspomnianych kształtów i form i które są z nimi kojarzone. Stosunkowo łatwa rozpo- znawalność, jaka cechuje omawiane kształty budowli, wykorzystywana jest do two- rzenia charakterystycznych znaków o wielkiej skali. Słowa kluczowe: kształt wieżowca, kształt spiralny, kształt piramidalny, obelisk, bra- ma, łuk triumfalny * M.Sc. Arch. Robert Musiał, Ph.D. Studies, Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology. 219 1. Introduction Shapes of skyscrapers are sometimes compared to various forms that are man-made or oc- cur in nature. Such buildings are often named after the forms and objects they are commonly associated with. Tour Montparnasse is referred to by Parisians as “the cleaver” [11, p. 106]; 30 St Mary Axe (Swiss Re) in London is commonly called the gherkin; and The Leadenhall Building, built in recent years also in the City of London – the cheese-grater [25, p.
