THE HEADQUARTERS · TAUNUSANLAGE 12 · RENEWED 2011
Twin towers rebuilt from the inside — with art on every floor
The towers opened in 1984 and were completely refurbished up to 2011: new glass facades and redesigned interiors by Mario Bellini Architects, with gmp as technical architects. Energy use halved, water use fell by more than 70% and CO₂ emissions by almost 90%. Lifts generate electricity, ice storage cools the offices, fresh air enters through the logo on the facade and windows can be opened. In the entrance stands “Sphere”, a large metal sculpture standing for the bank's global connections. Upstairs, each floor is devoted to one artist — around 100 artists from more than 40 countries, Germany and Europe in Tower A, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa in Tower B.
