In the east of Würzburg, a former US army barracks site was converted into an urban quarter as part of an urban development project. Funded by the Free State of Bavaria, the Center for Digital Innovation (ZDI) Mainfranken was completed and opened in Würzburg in 2017. The ZDI Mainfranken serves to promote digital start-ups in the Würzburg region. We are proud to have been involved in this project and to have made a contribution to promoting the start-up scene in the region.
CUBE SHAPED BUILDING
The building has a square floor plan, each with an edge length of 16 meters. Four entrances emphasize the architectural idea of transparency, which is reflected in the overall concept of the building. The supporting structure is made of glulam and is encased in glass and polycarbonate on the outside. This allows a view of the spruce glulam beams underneath, which are up to 16 meters long, even from the outside. In total, around 72 m³ of glulam is used in the entire project.
