Vallourec & Mannesmann office building, Düsseldorf

While it augments the form of the massive existing building, the new building also demonstrates its individuality by seeking to engage in a dialogue between heavy and light materials and old and new concepts. In addition, the new building, which uses a skeletal frame system, meets the corporate identity goals of the Vallourec & Mannesmann company by demonstrating the potential and possible uses of their steel hollow sections.
