Award for project at Terminal 1

New baggage drop-off machines have been developed for the check-in processes at Frankfurt Airport. The modularly developed overall concept was integrated into the 50-year-old Terminal 1 and, as a product family, offers the option of staff support at counters, among other things. The elegant, timeless design and intuitive operating elements for faster check-in are equipped for the future, as the passenger flow to security control can be accelerated by dismantling individual modules.
The project, which was developed in collaboration with Fraport, Profluss, Marcus Pedersen and netzwerkarchitekten, has now been honoured with the prestigious German Design Award.

Opening of new check-in machines (baggage drop-off)

The first 21 automated Lufthansa check-in counters in Terminal 1, developed by netzwerkarchitekten together with the Danish design office Marcus Pedersen, have now been opened.
In addition to the familiar baggage check-in by Lufthansa service staff, it is now also possible to check in baggage yourself even faster and more conveniently, independent of counter opening times.

Other terminal areas will also be equipped with the new generation of machines in the future.

City entrance Wiesbaden

netzwerkarchitekten has developed a feasibility study for a new city entrance at Mainzer Straße 166 together with the Wiesbaden city planning office.
The study shows the potential that this location, in the immediate vicinity of the intersection of the A66 and A671, holds as Wiesbaden’s southern city entrance:
A multimodal transport hub will be built over with a building structure of hybrid use.
As an urban high point, it marks the start of Wiesbaden’s development structures.

Start of construction Horner Rennbahn

On 19th of February 2021, the construction of the extension of the U4 from Horner Rennbahn station towards Horner Geest started. This should have been celebrated with a real big public event, but this tradition could not be realized due to Corona and had to be substituted by a virtual press conference. Nevertheless, we are very happy about the beginning of the realisation of the three underground stations we had planned.

We are pleased about the publication of the Wehrhahn Line Düsseldorf in the recently published Baukultur Report 2020/21 of the Bundesstiftung Baukultur.

Every two years the Baukultur Report is published as an official status report on planning and building in Germany. The report is also a political instrument. It contains positions of the Federal Foundation, project examples from the Baukultur workshops and arguments from expert discussions. In addition, it contains the results of a survey of local authorities on planning practice and a population survey on the general perception of building culture. The findings lead to concrete recommendations for action for politicians and all those involved in planning and building. The report on building culture is presented to the public for the first time at the Convention on Building Culture.

Underground Urbanism

We are pleased to have a wonderful publication about the city underground. Among other projects and visions, the Wehrhahnlinie is described and illustrated in detail.

„Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the streets of your city? Do you picture, in isolation, a series of train tunnels and pipes? Or perhaps the foundations of tall buildings that lie scattered, like icebergs, beneath the surface? As our cities grow up, out, and down, it is time we better understood how the different layers of these complex urban environments relate to one another. Underground Urbanism seeks to provide a new perspective on our cities, and consider how this might be used to engage more positively with them. So, tip your cities upside down to have a closer look, and let us rethink them from (below) the ground, up.“

netzwerkarchitekten receive Halstenberg commendation

On Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at a 5 pm ceremony at Industrieclub Dusseldorf, Elberfelder Street 6, the Halstenberg Commendation will be awarded to netzwerkarchitekten.
The prize will be awarded, for the third time, by the German Academy for Urban Development and Regional Development, and it honors special achievement in urban planning and regional planning in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The reason for the reception of this award:
“Netzwerkarchitekten, based in Darmstadt, has set standards in the planning culture. In 2016, after 15 years of planning and construction, the subway stretch Wehrhahn Line was opened in Dusseldorf. The netzwerkarchitekten, in collaboration with the artist Heike Klussmann, emerged victorious in a two-phase, Europe-wide competition for the overall conception of this subway route. From the beginning, a fruitful cooperation between architects, artists, and engineers, as well as the city of Dusseldorf, was cultivated. It has become a new model of collaborative construction. From the competition in 2001, to its opening, the planning methodology was a success story and is a perfect example of what large-scale construction projects should be. It is this alone that made an underground spatial continuum with a new waiting and arrival culture possible.”

We are very excited!

Residential development Pankratiusstrasse in the design advisory board

On June 29, 2018, the concept for the construction of a new residential building with 11 residential units in Darmstadt was presented to the city’s design advisory board. Our design received great approval.
In addition to green roofs, the concept envisages an intensive greening of the south-facing courtyard facade by vertically staggered plant troughs with trees and facade greening.
The plants create a beautiful living environment, and contribute to a sustainable improvement of the city climate.
The heating of the facade surfaces is reduced, noise and pollutants are absorbed, and dust is captured from the air. Plants also absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, retain rainwater, evaporate water, and thus increase air humidity.

Martin Elsaesser Plaque for the central bus station in Hanau

Fifty-one entries were submitted to this year’s “Award for Good Buildings” competition, held every five years by the BDA Hessen. At the award ceremony last Friday in the German Museum of Architecture, the client and netzwerkarchitekten were happy to receive the Martin Elsaesser Plaque for the reconstruction of Freedom Square (“ZOB Freiheitplatz”) in Hanau.

We are very pleased, and congratulate all award winners!

Previously used as a public bus station and parking lot, reconstruction of Freedom Square was completed in autumn, 2015. The restructuring of the central bus station and the redesign and reorganization of the Square creates a public, open-air, barrier-free space which invites everyone to linger and enjoy the park-like setting.
This remarkable result was made possible by the intensive cooperation of the landscape architecture office Club L94 from Cologne, Schüßler-Plan from Frankfurt (overall project management), the municipal companies and proprietary enterprises of the city of Hanau, and the netzwerkarchitekten.

Day care center at Ruthsenbach

After more than one year of renovation, the day care center at Ruthsenbach in Darmstadt’s Ahrheiligen district has been put back into operation. The existing building was extensively renovated and restructured inside in order to realize a new pedagogical concept.
All facade areas that received a new insulation layer during renovation were clad with a rear-ventilated curtain wall of vertical wooden slats.
The “Kids base”, a pedestal band around the building made of cement-bonded slabs, combines the various structures, and enables the children to paint and design their day care center themselves with chalk.
