The office complex in Karlsruhe is considered as Tadao Andos first urban design in Germany. The publication provides exclusive insights into the creation and planning of the building. Architecture photographs and building plans show Andos

design formula: reduction to the essentials, exposed concrete on the scale of the tatami mats, strict geometries, precision

and refined detail give the building its characteristic touch. The architect and client agreed on creating an aesthetic and

energyefficient building that meets the latest technical standards and offers the employees the best working conditions.
