A new building was erected directly on the banks of the River Elbe for the newly-formed Institute for the Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems.


The new development consists of four institute buildings connected by a glazed walkway, a hall for experiments and testing and a separate guest house.

• Building foundation with large in-situ concrete
  piles due to the difficult subsoil
• Design and construction of the whole subfloor as
  "Weiße Wanne" – the base and outer walls are
  made of jointless in-situ waterproof concrete
• Flat slab reinforced concrete ceilings with a span of up to 12.5 m
• "Floating" guest house based on four large in-situ
  concrete piles
• Staircases as folded plate concrete structures,
  more than 7 m free span
