Allison - Blog 8

WALDSPIRALE
Darmstadt, Germany
Architect:



This complex was built in 1990s. The name translates into English as forest spiral. I couldn’t have thought of a more fitting name, as it portrays the overall design of the structure. From the name, it is evident that the building is helicoidal and has a green roof.


The entirety of the exterior structure is richly decorated with vibrant colors, and when the trees are leaved, the complex looks magnificent. Having a green roof makes the building a lot more environmentally friendly than the surrounding structures. The golden domes make the complex more interesting. I would like to know if they serve any functional purpose.
