DEMOLITION

D E M O L I T I O N

The first intervention that takes place on the construction site is the demolition of a part of the viaduct. A new road leading to the thurn and taxis site will pass by the building and that is why the end of the viaduct will be broken down. We aim to obtain the de-

construction materials for future use. Therefore the

next intervention is to break down a hallway of 7,50m width. This huge space will serve as the main passage and storage for building materials. In the final phase of construction this will become a bicycle parking.

The third stage of demolition is making an open area in the middle of the building by removing the roof and the top floor. In this way we create an enclosed square so more light can enter the building. On the other hand it creates two double high, open spaces where new activities can take place. On the next page you can find a study of the dimensions.

The next stage of demolition allows the existing four cores to expand. By enlarging the internal staircases from one to three meters, the escape routes become wide enough to allow an occupancy rate of almost 1350 people per floor. The existing elevators within the building are maintained.

The last stage of demolition is adding seven new window openings per floor in the east facade. We follow the existing rhythm. More light can now enter the building.
