Regional Deutsche Bundesbank head office in Chemnitz. The project consists in the construction of the new regional Deutsche Bundesbank head office in Chemnitz, formerly Karl Marx Stadt, in a place with a dense and traumatic history.

The translucent facade is one element that contributes to the building of this idea. The walls are sheets of complex laminates made up of layers of glass with a lamina of stone set between them. This stone lamina was chosen because of its ability to respond to outside conditions, with marks appearing and disappearing, giving the inert material a certain organic air. These glass and fossil laminates were tested in the laboratory to ensure that they would withstand the demanding temperature conditions and meet the necessary security requirements. The sheets were attached to the structure using the techniques typical of high-tech curtain walls. The strips laid between the sheets as a finishing touch, as well as all the exterior elements, are archaic, in bronze.
