This imposing building has a unique design. The ThyssenKrupp Quarter consists of an arrangement of individual buildings embedded into a green carpet lined with trees. The overall design principle applied to all new buildings of the campus is referred to as “shell to core”. All buildings of the quarter are composed of L-shaped individual volumes that clasp around a shared centre. On building Q1, the horizontal slats of the outside sunshield characterize the “rough shell”. Here, bevel-edged perforated metal sheets made from stainless steel represent the universal design idea.
