Gleaming white and shiny - the building at Potsdamer Platz is already on from a distance. Gnädinger architects have created close to the Brandenburg Gate a sensational exhibition building for the company Otto Bock HealthCare. No hard edges or corners, just curved shapes. Gently, but dynamically wrap the facade bands around the building structure. In abstract form, they are modeled on human muscle fibers.
The architects show through the outer form, which is the theme inside the six-storey building: Otto Bock world leader in prosthetics, presented to 450 square feet interactive exhibition on the subject person, body and movement. With multi-media installations, visitors will be walking and grasping the processes explained and they will learn how medical technology restores limited mobility.
