“Dealing with the fabric of heritage buildings”

The Silvertower – Germany’s tallest skyscraper up until 1990 – still dominates the Frankfurt skyline. It represents an exceptional example of how to deal with the fabric of heritage buildings, and has won a Wüstenrot Stiftung Design Prize in this category.

The Design Prize travelling exhibition is first being shown at the Nordrhein-Westfalen Chamber of Architects (Zollhof 1) in Düsseldorf. Till Schneider will be presenting a keynote lecture on the award-winning "Silvertower" at the opening event on 7 May.
