The new building on the edge of the university campus is not merely a functional building one has to accept, and certainly not an unavoidable intrusion either. Indeed, it enhances the visual appeal of the quarter and accommodates, on some 6000 square metres floor area, the quarter’s energy and data centre. For functional reasons the three-storey building is all but opaque. There are numerous ventilation openings but few places that could be glazed, such as the two staircases on either of the narrow sides and an area on the first floor.

From the first floor upwards, perimeter walls are closed with externally insulated precast concrete components. The thermally insulated panels are finished with black acrylic lining. In front of those, an aluminium subframe supports 600 millimetre deep fibre cement vanes. The secondary façade serves as an additional layer of thermal protection and a shield from rainwater and sunlight. Just as importantly though, and given its form and colour, it is the material that lends the building’s exterior its attractive appearance. The vanes in front of the closed exterior walls have been mounted at a pitch of 30 degrees from the vertical. In frontal view and from a distance the façades therefore appear opaque, displaying a distinct horizontal structure. Viewed at an angle, the vanes seem to converge towards a distant vanishing point. In close-up view the appearance changes yet again as the gaps between the vanes towards the top of the building become seemingly wider.

Vanes in front of glazed wall sections have a 60 degree pitch, proffering yet another façade pattern that changes during a 24 hour cycle: during the day it presents more of a dark background, but when lit from behind these surfaces become quite bright.Source project description: A D Architecture Detail No 41, Karl Kraemer Verlag Stuttgart, 2013

大学校园边缘的新建筑不仅仅是人们必须接受的功能性建筑，当然也不是不可避免的入侵。事实上，它增强了该小区的视觉吸引力，并在大约6000平方米的建筑面积上容纳了该小区的能源和数据中心。出于功能原因，这座三层建筑几乎是不透明的。有许多通风口，但很少有地方可以上釉，比如狭窄两边的两个楼梯和一楼的一个区域。

从一楼向上，围墙用外部绝缘的预制混凝土构件封闭。隔热板用黑色丙烯酸衬里装饰。在此之前，一个铝制副车架支撑着600毫米深的纤维水泥叶片。二次立面是额外的热防护层，也是雨水和阳光的屏障。同样重要的是，考虑到它的形状和颜色，正是这种材料赋予了建筑的外观迷人的外观。封闭外墙前的叶片安装间距与垂直方向成30度。因此，从正面看，从远处看，正面显得不透明，显示出明显的水平结构。从某个角度看，叶片似乎朝着一个遥远的消失点会聚。在特写镜头中，随着朝向建筑物顶部的叶片之间的间隙变得似乎更宽，外观再次发生变化。

玻璃墙前的叶片间距为60度，提供了另一种在24小时周期内变化的立面模式:白天，它呈现出更多的黑暗背景，但当从这些表面后面照亮时，它变得相当明亮。
