Biomedical Research Center Seltersberg


The Research Center lines up with other new and existing buildings around the new campus center. Placed in heterogeneous surroundings, the building avoids unequivocal morphological and typological relations, yet it is precisely positioned. On the ground floor, the pedestrian traffic between city and campus is lead through a public passage. Spaces open to the public as well as the controlled entrance to the research Institutes, which are located around a central atrium on the laboratory floors above, are accessible from here. The flexible structure of the plan is interspersed with communicative zones which result from the play between free form space and rationally ordered content.
The facade consists of scaled frames made from aluminium anodized in 32 different shades. Each of the five building fingers is assigned a color range; at the transitions between the fingers gradients of color and brightness mediate between the primary colors. Through the varied orientation of the elements and the permanently changing reflections on the aluminum induced by the weather a lively play on the facade comes into being.
