  • Beschreibung: The Messeturm in Frankfurt/Main is currently adjusted to the requirements of a modern office building. The lobby area has been enlarged by a highly transparent facade consisting of oversized insulating glass (IG) units. The IG units are curved and have a size of up to 17 m x 2.8 m. The IG units are supported by tapered stainless steel fins. Inclined steel beams connect the top of the facade fins with the tower structure creating a rounded roof. The facade with its glass roof allows maximum transparency for people inside the lobby as well as for people passing by.
