The building is designed as a combined offi ce and exhibition
building with a clear division into a lower range with
a lot of work spaces, offi ces and workshops and an upper
display area as a free-fl owing, hall-like room with a fl exible
variable distribution in the project description of the Senate.
The main idea is an architectural structure in transparent
glass base wings as a largely closed and fl oating sculpture
with cantilever brackets using the topography of water.
The design is characterized by the contrast of small-scale
structure and further hall to meet the particular purpose
of use - this results in a composition and structure of a sequence
of closure and openness. It creates a different spatial
pattern: small to large-lot spaces, but only one room.

The challenge of the structure:
The floors and work so that the supports of reinforced concrete
substructure are indented to make the fl oating character, the supports
are thus not directly under the trusses running lengthwise,
which assume the burdens of the hall. Therefore, shorter transverse
beams are required to transfer the building loads on the substructure
the deflection of the forces. This results in a hierarchy
of the longitudinal and transverse trusses resulting in 1. and 2.
classification.

The trusses run along 12m high ceiling trusses take the loads and transmit them to
transverse beam on which are needed in the rest of this great design for transverse
reinforcement. These carriers then transfer their loads at the nodes on the clamped
reinforced concrete columns, which dissipate over bored pile foundations into the
ground. Only a few columns support the primary structure of steel, which further supports
the grid to take the burden of the support grid, and the concrete ceiling of the
substructure, the partitions are configured as non-supporting.
