"Rotating louvres characterize the façade. They control the incidence of light and views in the German Aerospace Center near Munich. Only the first floor remains completely transparent and reflects the landscape. Thanks to the subtle design by architects Birk Heilmeyer and Frenzel, a
research building is transformed into a building with an unmistakable signature."
Stephan Birk is Professor of Building Construction 1 + Design at the department of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and, together with his partners Liza Heilmeyer and Martin Frenzel, heads the architectural firm "Birk Heilmeyer und Frenzel" in Stuttgart. www.bhundf.com/
