Landesärtzekammer Hessen (Lindley Quartier)

The starting points were the location and function. Design elements such as light-dark contrasts and the clinker façades of neighboring buildings are reinterpreted to create a unique identity. The structure, which represents approximately 36,500 physicians, aligns with the urban layout and derives its shape from functional requirements and user needs. A blend of restraint and representational character with openness and distinctiveness defines the building. The entrance hall and event spaces on the ground floor feature a folded concrete band that conveys architectural presence. This continues in the upper floors with the layered slabs and culminates in the roof story, home to the presidency, with a striking folded design. The five main floors appear as calm horizontal bands, alternating full-height clinker pillars and windows. Unlike industrial associations with red brick, the dark clinker references more representative forms of brick architecture.
