  • Free Forms of European Skyscrapers
    ZNUV 2019;66(3);31-40 31 Joanna Pietrzak, Anna Stefańska Politechnika Warszawska FREE FORMS OF EUROPEAN SKYSCRAPERS Summary One of the advantages of a modern skyscraper is its original form. The determinant of originality is freedom, a departure from rigid rules. The architects ‘play’ with the inspirations in the search for a free form, among others, by entering into dialogue with classic image of a skyscraper, which is reinterpreted or even negated. A large creative potential is associated with a way to define dependence of form and structure. Key words: high-rise building, tall building, skyscraper, Europe, architectural icons, aesthetic expres- sion, game of form and construction. Introduction Over the last 50 years, both the form of a European skyscraper and the social acceptance of such a tall building changed. Skyscrapers have become not only an integral part of the urban surrounding, but also icons of identification of some large cities. The importance of iconic architecture was appreciated after the construction of such objects as the Bilbao museum or the Kunsthaus in Graz. Developers identify the form of the building with a marketing advantage and cooperate with famous architects in order to design original high-rise buildings (Sterlitz 2005). In modern architecture, the originality is determined by the free, i.e. deviating from rules (Słownik Języka Polskiego 2012), form of the building. In searching for such form, archi- tects play with inspirations: they refer to different styles and to unique local conditions. Even 25 years ago, a typical tall building would still be seen as an anonymous workplace. The latest projects are objects of public admiration, oftentimes acting as tourist attractions (Rees et al.

  • Commerzbank: the Social Tower
    Commerzbank: The Social Tower September 1995 Many of us spend more time at our place of work than we do at home, so the nature of the workplace directly affects the quality of our lives - and indirectly that of our families. Some years ago many people were predicting the paperless office. That has proved to be a myth, despite the widespread use of computers and word processors. Today there is a similar myth, which suggests that we can all work at home and thereby eliminate the need for offices and corporate headquarters. Whilst the technology may exist to create such possibilities, the social needs for people to come together are very deeply rooted; notwithstanding teleconferencing, virtual reality and expanded horizons of private time for leisure. What is changing, however, is the level of our expectations. This is reflected in the so-called ‘green revolution’. We not only expect higher standards of comfort and amenity when we go to work, but we expect them to be created in a socially responsible manner, which will be mindful of the longer term consequences for future generations. The legislation and attitudes to such issues are more progressive in Germany than most other countries. In particular the climate of opinion in the city of Frankfurt further encourages the pursuit of higher design standards in both the public and private domain. To be socially responsible any building should work both from the outside in the civic context of its site, and from the inside, by responding to the special functions which generate the need for the building.

  • Mein Frankfurt Am Main Stadtführer Für Kinder
    Bettina Tenge-Lyazami Leonore Poth Mein Frankfurt am Main Stadtführer für Kinder mpfohlen d e ur ch d a s Frankfurt und die Stadtteile Vor langer Zeit gab es einen von Wasser umschlossenen Hügel in der weiten Main- landschaft. Es war weit und breit die einzige Stelle, die bei Hochwasser trocken blieb. Nieder-Erlenbach Schnell erkannten schlaue Köpfe, dass dies ein guter Ort für eine Siedlung war. Der Hügel Nieder-Eschbach ließ sich prima verteidigen: Gegenüber Feinden und wilden Tieren. Durch eine flache Stelle im Fluss, die Furt, konnte man ihn leicht erreichen. Kein Wunder, dass sich vor etwa 8.000 Harheim Jahren bereits Steinzeitmenschen dort niederließen. Später waren es Kelten, Chatten, Kalbach-Riedberg Römer, Alemannen und Franken, die auf dem Hügel siedelten. Im frühen Mittelalter bekam Bonames die Siedlung ihren Namen. Eine Urkunde von Frankenkönig Karl dem Großen aus dem Jahr 794 benennt als Entstehungsort erstmals ein Franconofurd. Um die Hütten der ersten Frankfurter Berg Berkersheim Siedler wuchs im Verlauf der Jahrhunderte eine richtige Stadt herum. Freie Flächen wurden Niederursel bebaut, neu gegründete Stadtteile bevölkert und ehemals eigenständige Dörfer des Heddern- Eschers- Bergen-Enkheim heim heim Preunges- Umlands eingemeindet. Längst ist aus Frankfurt eine moderne Großstadt mit fast heim 700.000 Einwohnern geworden. Dennoch hat sich jeder der aktuell 43 Stadtteile einen Ecken- Seckbach Praunheim heim Ginnheim Dorn- eigenen Charakter bewahrt. busch Karl der Große Hausen Rödelheim Nordend Bornheim Rieder- Westend wald Sossenheim Bockenheim Fechenheim Ostend 2 Unterliederbach 1 3 Nied Gallus Gutleut- 1 = Bahnhofsviertel Höchst viertel 2 = Innenstadt Zeilsheim Griesheim 3 = Altstadt Oberrad GESCHÄTZTE Norden EINWOHNERZAHLEN Niederrad FRANKFURTS Sind- lingen Schwanheim JAHR BEWOHNER Sachsenhausen 1350 10.000 1605 20.000 1700 23.000 Tipp: Falls du den Hügel im Altstadtbereich, 1810 40.000 auf dem einmal alles anfing, erkunden 1875 100.000 möchtest: Er heißt heute wegen der darauf 1900 289.000 Flughafen stehenden Kirche Domhügel.
