Bjarke Ingels\u2019 firm has won a competition to design a 185-metre-high skyscraper in Frankfurt, with a proposal it describes as both classical and sculptural, a standing our building in the landscape\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

Less than a month after the firm ousted Foster + Partners from the Two World Trade Center project in New York, it has now been named winner in a contest to design a mixed-use tower in Frankfurt\u2019s downtown financial district.<\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

The building\u2019 architectural design is conceived by BIG as a simple rectilinear form with two sculptural interventions.<\/p>\n

Floorplates will be shifted at both at the base and the centre of the tower to mark clear boundaries between the building\u2019s different functions, with sections dedicated to apartments, offices and public uses.<\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBy gently shifting the floorplates of the simple elegant volume, the tower incorporates all the elements of a real city: spaces for living and working, inside as well as outside,\u201d explained Ingels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a striking new silhouette on Frankfurt\u2019s skyline that looks different purely because it performs differently,\u201d he said. \u201cThe shift at the hip will be a sign that new life has infiltrated the cluster of corporate headquarters in downtown Frankfurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Copenhagen- and New York-based BIG is partnering with Austrian engineering firm Bollinger + Grohmann on the project.<\/p>\n

Their aim is to create a strong presence on the skyline, as well as a building that is welcoming at street level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
