A new administrative building for the university rectors and the German national academic foundation (Hochschulrektorenkonferenz und die Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes). The two organisations each use a wing of the building in the Bonn suburb of Plittersdorf. The simple urban structure and the building’s minimalist architectural design reflect the attempt to create an urban landmark anchor in the structurally heterogeneous environment for future development. The simplicity, clarity and grace of the building give architectural expression to the attitude and the significance of the prestigious institutions.
