DKV保险公司，柏林
DKV Insurances, Berlin
Topotek1在开发柏林DKV保险公司大楼外部区域时选择了整体方法。由Alsop&；Störmer位于两层地下车库上方，地下车库依次延伸至庭院下方。庭院首先是一个典型的多用途城市空间，以彩色的正面和地面为显著特征。庭院的沥青覆盖层被认为是连接周围建筑的重要代表层，就像一层城市膜。该概念的核心是加强水平和垂直表面、不同角度和虚线之间的相互作用。为了使表面和各种深度之间的变形游戏更加明显，这幅画甚至延伸到地下车库。交通标志的传统材料、形式和颜色被转移到一个新的环境中，形成了一个抽象的信息世界，反映了建筑的代表性功能，并与城市景观形成了网状互动。
Topotek1 chose a holistic approach when developing the outside area of the DKV Insurance Company building in Berlin. The seven-storey building, designed by Alsop & Störmer, rises above a two-level underground garage which in turn extends under the courtyard. The courtyard is foremost an exemplary, multi-use urban space, stunningly characterized by the coloured façades and ground surfaces. The asphalt covering of the yard is regarded as being nothing less than an essential representative layer connecting the surrounding buildings like an urban membrane. At the centre of the concept was the idea to enhance the interaction between horizontal and vertical surfaces, different angles and broken lines. To make the metamorphic game between the surface and various depths more evident, the painting even extends into the underground garage. Conventional materials, forms and colours of traffic signage were transferred into a new context where they form an abstract world of information which reflects the representative functions of the building and creates a reticulated interaction with its urban landscape.
