READY FOR TAKE OFF<br />
Ready for Takeoff. <strong>Airport</strong>s are generally deemed hectic<br />
processing machines, but this prejudice does not apply<br />
to Madrid’s <strong>Barajas</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>! <strong>Barajas</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>'s new<br />
<strong>Terminal</strong>, T4, is like a brightly colored butterfl y fi t<br />
with roofs that give the building “wings.” Adding to this<br />
vibrant effect are the roofs’ colored columns, which,<br />
like dancing acrobats, catch the attention of airline<br />
passengers and passersby alike, who will spend their<br />
wait lost in astonishment and reverie over this bold<br />
structure.<br />
This concrete edifi ce sweeps 20 m into the air,<br />
en<strong>com</strong>passing a total of three storeys – a feat large<br />
enough to make <strong>Terminal</strong> 4 one of the most courageous<br />
in the world.<br />

METALLIC LANDSCAPES.<br />
A monumental statement in architecture, Munich's BMW<br />
World is one in a new generation of 21st-century<br />
<strong>com</strong>munication structures. Like a chunk of open city<br />
under one roof, it houses both a showroom and an<br />
events center. It also serves as the central delivery point<br />
for people from all over the world to pick up their new<br />
BMWs in person. A tangible link between car and<br />
architecture and material and creativity, BMW World<br />
represents the harmonious union between state-of-theart<br />
technology and optimum use of resources.<br />
A Superlative Building. Its mighty roof boasts an<br />
impressive total area of 16,500 sqm, <strong>com</strong>prising an<br />
innovative steel structure in the form of a double cone<br />
and - although it is about ten times as big as the<br />
Acropolis - just eleven additional articulated columns.<br />
Its edifice is <strong>com</strong>posed of 55,000 cbm of concrete,<br />
15,000 sqm of glass frontage and 1,154 rooms. The<br />
structure’s double cone is a true symbol of the changed<br />
architectural debate, its archaic dictate of beams and<br />
supports replaced by free forms, creating fantastic<br />
spatial landscapes. It is in every respect a superlative<br />
structure - even in terms of its sanitary zones, which<br />
span diverse areas such as lounges, restaurants, shops<br />
and showrooms. Each of these unique spaces reflects the<br />
language of modern design through the implementation<br />
of <strong>Duravit</strong> sanitaryware.<br />

A TOWER WITH A DIFFERENCE<br />
A superb tower is currently being built in the United<br />
Arab Emirates: Burj Dubai. Built by Emaar Properties,<br />
the tower already is the tallest building in the world and<br />
will stand over 700 metres high when <strong>com</strong>pleted. The<br />
tower will feature the “barrel” that is made by German<br />
manufacturer, <strong>Duravit</strong>. In the last 20 years, this<br />
bathroom manufacturer with headquarters in Hornberg<br />
in the Black Forest has successfully pursued an explicit<br />
design strategy and, in collaboration with high-profile<br />
names such as Philippe Starck, Sieger Design and Lord<br />
Norman Foster, has developed bathroom and wellness<br />
products that stand out not only on the strength of their<br />
unusual design but also their good value for money. “We<br />
offer everything in bathroom design, ranging from jeans<br />
to dinner jacket”, says Franz Kook, Management Board<br />
Chairman of <strong>Duravit</strong>. The “barrel” is a vanity unit<br />
designed for <strong>Duravit</strong> by Philippe Starck in 1994. He was<br />
inspired by primitive forms, such as the washing bowl,<br />
bucket, hand pump and nail. Over the years, the “Starck<br />
barrel” has be<strong>com</strong>e <strong>Duravit</strong>’s best-selling item of<br />
bathroom furniture and it is now moving into the luxury<br />
skyscraper. <strong>Duravit</strong> will deliver more than 1,000 barrels<br />
to Dubai, as well as almost 4,000 WCs and bidets and<br />
more than 1,600 baths and whirltubs. This very pleasing<br />
contract is worth millions. A <strong>com</strong>plete service that will<br />
doubtlessly open more doors and perhaps also a few<br />
more towers for the German bathroom manufacturer.<br />

GREEN BUILDING.<br />
The German Stock Exchange was the first high-rise<br />
building in Germany to be awarded platinum<br />
certification under the LEED standard. The office<br />
building received this award not only for the sustainable<br />
design, but also for the high level of user-friendliness.<br />
State-of-the-art technology such as an in-house biogas<br />
cogeneration system and a water-layer heat accumulator<br />
cover the technical requirements. The employees, on<br />
the other hand, cherish the bright, friendly atmosphere:<br />
floor to ceiling glass panels guarantee maximum<br />
daylight. Bridges, stairs and walkways traverse the 80meter<br />
high atrium in the center. They allow<br />
<strong>com</strong>munication, movement and a variety of views.<br />

A CITY IN BALANCE<br />
"Better City, Better Life" was the theme of EXPO 2010.<br />
Under the title "Balancity", the German Pavilion is<br />
dedicated to a city in balance between renewal and<br />
preservation, innovation and tradition, urbanity and<br />
nature... It is designed as an accessible sculpture that is<br />
an interplay of interior and exterior spaces, the<br />
surrounding landscape and public area. A terraced<br />
landscape extends from the ground fl oor to the third<br />
upper fl oor of the pavilion. Four shimmering exhibition<br />
structures appear to be suspended above it - each<br />
seemingly poised in precarious balance, yet stable when<br />
working in <strong>com</strong>bination with one another. They form a<br />
large roof over the cityscape and offer shade as well as<br />
protection from the rain. The visitor follows the<br />
designated route through a labyrinth with light and<br />
shade, confi nement and expanse, squares and tunnels.<br />
He passes through various scenarios such as the harbour,<br />
underwater room, garden, factory – a room in constant<br />
motion –, park, atelier and town square, until he arrives<br />
at the heart of the <strong>com</strong>plex: the conical energy center.<br />
Here, the visitors are the source of energy and they can<br />
move an illuminated ball with their voice. The pavilion is<br />
covered with a transparent membrane. Depending on the<br />
incidence of light, this membrane transforms the<br />
permeable structure into a silvery crystal or a glowing<br />
light sculpture after nightfall.<br />

DIE WEIT LEUCHTENDE ARCHITEKTUR<br />
Not only are the giants of the sea exhibited here and the<br />
underwater worlds of the Baltic and the North Sea<br />
simulated in the largest aquariums in Germany, but the<br />
building itself also sets impressive standards. Despite its<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex function as an aquarium, the building’s<br />
ingenious structural engineering allows it to conserve<br />
energy.<br />
The architecture can be seen from afar and cuts into<br />
the sky like a white sail in the wind; it is so carefully<br />
positioned against the backdrop of one of Germany’s<br />
most attractive Baltic cities that it poses no threat<br />
whatsoever to any ambitions as a world heritage site. On<br />
the contrary – it is an impressive example of how to add<br />
modern elements to a medieval city. In this notable<br />
structure, <strong>Duravit</strong> products look after the welfare of<br />
guests in the washroom and toilet areas. And the<br />
products certainly have to withstand quite a lot: the<br />
tremendous rush of visitors to the museum!<br />

The Brandhorst Collection is an architectural jewel that<br />
adds a further highlight to Munich’s museums. The shell<br />
made of coloured ceramic rods serves as a striking<br />
orientation point in the line of buildings along the road.<br />
Colourful on the outside, discreet on the inside: with its<br />
understated materials, light-grey walls and light wood,<br />
the architecture takes a step back, allowing the art to<br />
take centre stage. A well-devised system consisting of<br />
skylights and light defl ection ensure that practically all<br />
of the exhibition rooms are provided with daylight – and<br />
it is not only the Andy Warholes that show themselves in<br />
their true colours.<br />
