Abstract: | The NordWestZentrum in Frankfurt/Main – Part 2: new annexe. The NordWestZentrum was expanded once more in 2002–2004. As part of this project, the area previously occupied by a technical college was completely redeveloped, resulting in 430,000 m3 of enclosed space for new utilization. For the planning engineers, this construction project was a major challenge in terms of demolition, expert reports, modernization and safeguarding of the existing buildings as well as structural design for the new buildings with their special foundations, all under the motto “Bauen im Bestand und Bauen im Betrieb” which can be loosely translated as “construction within the existing buildings and construction during operations”. |
