*️⃣Norddeutsche Landesbank am Friedrichswall

Architect #Behnisch
City #Hannover
Country #Germany #EU

🔤From the exterior it resembles the traditional city block, whilst at its center, protected from the noise of the heavily frequented streets, lies the heart of the complex, a large, public courtyard. A distinctive, seventy-meter-high #skyscraper rises from the courtyard, detaching itself through a series of twists and turns from the formal order of the lower, perimeter building. The expressive form of the tower refers neither to the styles of the immediate surroundings, nor to the orthogonal grid of the post-war city; instead it is a response to the historical downtown geometries in the north.

"Brutalism is not the result of the philosophy, but the consequences of possible conditions".

The facility's curved concrete interior atrium alcoves are particularly distinctive. Despite this extensive use of cold concrete, its red brick walls, copper roofing, #red tile floors and rich wooden interior adornments give the structure a warm atmosphere.
