WCCB - World Conference Center Bonn

WCCB - World Conference Center Bonn

YES ARCHITECTURE. as Architects

The main focus of the urban concept lies in the interaction of the new structure with the existing building complex of the former Bundestag (parliament buildings designed by Günter Behnisch) and the creation of a defined ‘conference-axis’ in the urban space. The former Bundestag and the new conference hall for the German parliament define the main axis of the new conference center. A representative piazza spans between these areas and acts as a forecourt and main entrance to the conference center, accentuated by an expansive crystal-like glass hall that connects all conference units. The hall extends northward where it unites with the adjoining park. These three elements ‘forecourt’, ‘glass hall’ and ‘park’ constitute the heart of the new conference center. This central area is surrounded by the conference centers, shopping areas and a 5-star hotel. The complex is embedded into the landscape in an unobtrusive way – the roof itself becomes a folded landscape. The hotel constitutes the only vertical accent in the form of a single high-rise.
