House for film and media, Stuttgart, DE, 2021, 3rd prize

The structural design of the new House for Film and Media is strongly characterized by the structure of the staggered building cubes with partial cantilevers of up to 5 m and the wide, column-free event halls in the interior. The chosen structural design harmonizes the formal, functional and static aspects. The selected skeleton construction in reinforced concrete with integrated storey-high trusses made of reinforced concrete composite elements reacts efficiently, filigree and across materials to the static situation. The arrangement of the trusses allows the maximum column-free span to be limited to 15 x 17 m, while at the same time allowing maximum flexibility of the floor plan in terms of use.
