雙塔結構成為法蘭克福奧斯坦德區天際線的亮點

藍天組為德國法蘭克福歐洲中央銀行設計的新址將地標建筑Grossmarkthalle（批發市場）的橫向結構和旋轉式雙塔結構融為一體，高約185米。兩座塔樓由入口建筑相連，塑造出一種特殊的建筑效果，中間的玻璃結構中庭融合了橋梁、通道和平臺，旨在打造一個“垂直城市”。具有半公共性質和交流功能部分位于原先的Grossmarkthalle。從華麗的中庭和可視鋼支撐結構可以看出，歐洲央行大廈屬于一種全新的摩天大樓。

雙曲面造型

最初，歐洲央行明確要求建造一座獨特的標志性建筑作為歐盟的象征，而富有鮮明特色的建筑只有通過塑造特殊的幾何造型才能實現。

歐洲央行的設計理念是采用雙曲面造型，將一個巨型整塊垂直切分，切分后進行旋轉，然后在中間區域建造一個玻璃結構中庭。最后會出現一個復雜的幾何造型和多面體建筑，其外觀從任何角度看迥然不同：從東南面看，顯得雄偉壯觀、氣魄恢弘，從西面看，則顯得輕盈優雅、動感十足。

“垂直城市”原則

連接層和過渡層把中庭橫向劃分為三個大小不同的層次，高度45~60米。這是連接所有垂直入口點的地方，就好像公共廣場邀請參觀者進行交流。規劃的“空中花園”保證了舒適的室內氣候，這些地方與辦公室和Grossmarkthalle交流區通過電梯和樓梯相連。

城市建設和建筑

歐洲央行的建筑經過精心設計，與其法蘭克福奧斯坦德區的所在地保持協調。城市視域的導向性非常清晰，整個效果使老歌劇院、博物館河谷和金融區天際線這幾個法蘭克福最重要的地標遙相呼應。從法蘭克福市的各個重要地點和美因河都能看到這兩座形象鮮明的雙塔，這是法蘭克福東部第二中心的起始點。

“這符合多中心城市的準則，比單中心城市更具活力，”藍天組設計總監暨首席執行官沃爾夫?狄?普瑞克斯解釋說，“各中心之間的張力區開始出現，必須進行新的開發。”

The striking twin tower shapes the skyline of Frankfurt’s Ostend

The design of the Viennese architectural studio Coop Himmelb(l)au for the new premises of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt combines the horizontal structure of the landmarked Grossmarkthalle with a twisted double tower, which rises to 185 meters. United by an entrance building, these two elements form an ensemble of special architectural significance. Featuring bridges, pathways and platforms, the glass atrium between the two highrises creates a vertical city. The semipublic and communicative functions are located in the former Grossmarkthalle. The exceptional atrium and visible steel support structure show that the ECB building belongs to an entirely new typologie of skyscrapers.

The hyperboloid cut

From the beginning it was an explicit order of the ECB to create a unique, iconic building as a symbol for the European Union. A distinctiv and unique building can only be achieved by a completely different kind of Geometry.

The design concept of the ECB is to vertically divide a monolithic block through a hyperboloid cut, wedge it apart, twist it and fill the newly created intermediary space with a glass atrium. The result is a very complex geometry and a multifaceted building offering a completely different appearance from each angle: massiv and powerful from the South-East, slender and dynamic from the West.

The principle of the “Vertical City”

The connecting and transitioning levels divide the atrium horizontally into three sections with heights from 45 to 60 meters. This is where all vertical entry points are joined – and just like public squares, they invite visitors to communicate. The planned “hanging gardens” ensure a pleasant room climate while elevators and stairs connect these places with the offices and communication areas of the Grossmarkthalle.

Urban construction and architecture

The ECB’s architecture was carefully attuned to its location in Frankfurt’s Ostend district. With its clear orientation towards the urban perspectives, the ensemble enters a dialogue with Frankfurt’s most important reference points: the Alte Oper, the Museum Embankment and the skyline of the financial district. The distinctive double tower can be seen from all of the important places in Frankfurt’s city center and from the Main river, creating an initial point for a second center in the East of Frankfurt.

“This corresponds to the principle of a polycentric city, which is much more dynamic than a monocentric city,” explains Wolf D. Prix, Design Principal and CEO of Coop Himmelb(l)au. “Tension areas begin to emerge between the centers, in which new developments are being provoked.”
