TBZ Cologne_ 독일 퀼른 상공회의소의 에너지 효율적이고 장애물 없는 기술센터

기술에 대한 높은 관심을 이끌어내고 학제간의 지식 공유를 증진하는 공간

독일 퀼른의 TBZ는 에너지 효율적이고 무장애 기술센터이다. 독일의 건축디자인그룹 SSP SchürmannSpannel가 디자인한 이 건물은 단순하지만 강렬한 이미지로 다가온다.

퀼른 상공회의소의 새로운 기술훈련센터인 이곳은 기술직이 결코 산업화된 제조 기술에 밀리지 않는다는 자신감을 충분히 내비치고 있다. 전통적으로 독일 사회에서 기술직은 높은 정확성과 품질을 대변하는 계층이다. 하지만 많은 기술직 분야가 산업발달과 더불어 경쟁체계가 심화되고 시장 환경 또한 다변화되고 있다. 이에 독일 상공회의소는 혁신적인 생각과 활동을 통해 기술직에 대한 대중들의 관심을 증대시킬 수 있는 캠페인을 전개해 나가고 있다.

이렇게 하여 탄생한 TBZ 건물은 지식 교류의 맥락에서 접근하고 건물 내외부의 적극적인 소통을 통해 기술직의 존재성을 강하게 드러내게 해주고 있다. 건물의 파사드는 단순하지만 투명하게 마감되어 있으며 광장을 향해 적극적인 소통을 이끌어내고자 하는 자세를 취한다. 2층 높이의 규모이지만 바닥에서 천장에 이르는 극도의 투명도는 시각적 소통에 의해 학제간의 지식 공유를 증진하는 장치로 인식된다.

3중창 사이의 공간 내부에 빛을 차단하는 루버는 내부 사용자들의 시야를 방해하지 않으면서 여름철 직사광선과 그로 인한 눈부심으로부터 보호하는 역할을 맡는다. 또한, 건물은 진공절연과 다른 최신 기술을 이용하여 독일 에너지 절약법(EnEV 2009)이 지정한 단열 기준을 쉽게 통과했다. 길게 머리를 내밀고 있는 지능적이고 수평적인 지붕 해치는 자동차 선루프와 유사하며 건물의 지붕에 매끄러운 접근을 유도한다. ANN

Insight, outlook, perspectives – construction of a new Technologiezentrum für Energieeffizienz und Barrierefreiheit(TBZ)(Energy efficient and barrier-free technology center) for the Handwerkskammer zu Köln(Cologne Chamber of Trades). In German society, the skilled trades traditionally represent the highest precision and quality. Yet many skilled trade sectors are increasingly competing directly with industrial manufacturing, and markets are constantly changing. Trades Chambers are reacting to these changes and seeking to uphold people’s appreciation of the skilled trades with innovative ideas and activities. The Handwerkskammer zu Köln(Cologne Chamber of Trades) has launched an image campaign to raise their public profile with the slogan “Skilled trades - the economic powerhouse next door”. The Chamber’s new technology and training centre, the Technologie – und Bildungszentrum für Energieeffizienz und Barrierefreiheit(TBZ), impressively demonstrates that the skilled trades have by no means lost out to industrial manufacturing techniques and will continue to be an economic power in future. This high-tech building forms a new, assertive urban development starting point for the Handwerkskammer zu Köln training centre. The new building‘s positioning enhances the training centre’s main access, while a new, sound-insulated outdoor area in front of its canteen provides an enclosed space for activities and practice.

The main idea behind the building’s design is to promote communication within the building and between the building and outdoor space in the context of a knowledge exchange. This has been achieved by arranging a communicative forum as a spatially connecting element between the ground and first floors and by the centre’s highly transparent facade. The TBZ facade combines aspects of a communicative forum with the new building’s high technical standards in an innovative way. Oversized, floor-to-ceiling windows offer maximum transparency and promote interdisciplinary knowledge sharing by deliberately stimulating visual communication between inside and out. Light deflecting ‘Köster RETROLux’(computer controlled) louvers in the space between its(triple glazed) window panes provide protection from direct sunlight and glare in summer without impeding views(in and out). Thanks to vacuum insulation and other state of the art technologies, the building easily surpasses the thermal insulation standards set in the German Energy Saving Ordinance(EnEV 2009) by up to 55%. An intelligent, horizontal roof hatch, similar to car sunroof, provides unusually high quality access to the building’s roof.

SSP SchürmannSpannel AG - Integrated Design made in Germany

SSP is one of the largest Integrated Design Offices in Germany with currently more than 85 employees in Bochum and other locations in Berlin, Frankfurt, Aachen, Karlsruhe and Lingen. Established in 1977 SSP primary provides services for clients in West Germany. Integrated Design for attractiveness, transformability and energy efficiency – Every project is also a prototype. Nothing is done solely “by number”; nothing is “off the peg”. The architecture of our building designs is always the result of complex and intensive work by our team of investors, operators, users, architects, building technology planners, organisational consultants, interior designers, urban planners and fire safety experts etc. Our concern as integrated planners is to clarify different views of the same building and value shared knowledge. Only by sharing and using knowledge effectively, will our clients and we achieve both sustainability and added value. Partners SSP: Matthias Kraemer(Architect), Thomas Schmidt(Architect), Matthias Solbach(Architect), Heiner Blum(Engineer), Marius Scheffer(Architect).
