ADIDAS HEADQUARTERS GATEWAY One does not live in the facade, but in the space in front and behind of it. LOCATION: Herzogenaurach, Germany SIZE: 517,000 sf | 48,000 m2 TYPE: M.Arch Academic Work | Spring 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Nanako Umemoto
A user analysis identified a wide range of occupants for the new buildings. As well as the “classic� occupant typologies, users from over 70 nations and a wide variety of cultural backgrounds are encountered on the site. This diversity is an essential value of the Adidas Group and must be duly taken into account when designing the buildings. In principle, all the organizational units of the Adidas Group located on the Herzogenaurach site must be considered as potential occupants of the new office buildings. Examples include Finance, Human Resources, IT, Sales, product developers, designers, etc. The occupants are mostly assigned to the Adidas brand, although there are some employees of other brands in the Adidas Group such as Reebok, TaylorMade etc. The facilitation of organizational flexibility is a basic requirement, as organizational structures in the Adidas Group are always changing. It must also be possible not only to merge different functions into process- or

O God, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O God, whoever You keep alive, keep him alive in Islam, and whoever You cause to die, cause him to die with faith. O God, do not deprive us of the reward and do not cause us to go astray after this. O God, forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound and forgive him, honor his rest and ease his entrance; wash him with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O God, give him a home better than his home and a family better than his family. O God, admit him to Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of Hell-fire; make his grave spacious and fill it with light.
