2 Colorium Speditionstraße Düsseldorf Located on an extremely constricted site in the Speditionsstrasse peninsula, formerly home to a waterfront silo, SMC Alsop's building takes the form of a dramatic 62-metre high tower with two basement levels SMC Alsop's treatment of the external façade of the building, an intricate patchwork of coloured glass, transforms what could be a conventional office into a towering mosaic artwork The regularity of the floor pattern is broken down and blurred by the sophisticated and sensuous façade treatment using advanced glass technology and only 17 distinct types of panels To ensure an intense external colour appearance, the artwork is screen printed onto the glass with a reduced percentage of printed area in the vision panels Overlaying the concrete frame, the mosaic façade distorts the internal structure, scale and perspective of the building, creating a highly elusive and pictorial presence on the waterfront (text from website SMC Alsop) Public access unknown! m² Will Alsop pkrajewski_pl 2

5 Port-Event-Center Am Handelshafen Düsseldorf In 1996, Wansleben Architekten initiated in cooperation with developer BTV a concept for a Creative Centre in the commercial harbour of Düsseldorf The proposed Port-Event-Center (PEC) is a complex knot comprising of a tower as an end of the 'mediawalk' and a 35m cantilevered office unit over a highly soundproof event space It protrudes over the protected former powerstation as a reaction to the perspective of the harbour basin The 'media-port' should be supplemented by a centre for culture and music Individual treatment of the different spatial dynamics and directions is done as usual in older parts of the harbour by an uncomplicated but complex arrangement of unpretentious buildings which in appearance and function are achitectually independent This is a roboust, non-hierarchical urban structure that is capable of being changed and developed with minimum coordination Since 2002 it has been rented by O'Gilvy & Mather Advertising Agency and 3001 Discotheque Public access unknown! m² Wansleben Architekten Modernes Düsseldorf pkrajewski_pl 5
