		The 250 metre long building, which is close to the city centre and supplied directly by rail and from the harbour, has two reinforcing end buildings (administration, cooling house) and a pillar-free roof of 15 arched sections with a thickness of 7.5 cm and a span of 50 metres.
		The administrative building of Hoechst AG by Peter Behrens is one of the outstanding examples of expressive architecture in Germany.
		One of the most idiosyncratic and "intelligent" new buildings in the banking district is the DG Bank tower known as the 'Kronenhochhaus' (crown tower) because of its overhanging roof section.

	Guggenheim Museum - Frank Gehry - Projects
		In an effort to respect the surrounding architecture on Pariser Platz, which is dominated by the Brandenburg Gate, the sculptural drama typical of Gehry's recent work is cloaked by a five-story facade of thick limestone similar to that of the gate.
		At rear, free of the constraints of the historic crossroads, the building has an undulating facade that rises to ten stories for residential units.
		Translated into a conference center for DG Bank, the structure commands the wood-paneled atrium, capped above and below by skylights, mitigating what would otherwise be a conventional corporate interior.

		Two towers emerge from a rectilinear brick building with cascades of metal falling from the towers to the street and, in places, puncturing the brick volume.
		Gehry's design is partially a response to the need for the substantial building to extend upward rather than outward due to the limited size of its lot.
		The interior of Gehry's university building is as unconventional as its exterior.

		The banking industry in Germany is in a state of rapid change influenced by intense global competition, new regulatory approaches and advances in technology.
		The commercial banks in the private sector are the 3 super regional "big" banks (Deutsche Bank AG, Dresdner Bank AG and Commerzbank AG), regional private banks, branches of foreign banks and private bankers.
		The banking industry is currently in the process of making adjustments to the organizational structure and strategic positioning of bank conglomerates, bank groups and strategic alliances with more significant measures to follow.

		His buildings provoke, are completely out of the ordinary or cause offence, but never out of mere sensationalism: the formal escapades are always earthed in careful workmanship and functional aptness.
		Compared with Gehry's previous buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the residential house "Ginger und Fred" in Prague and the Zollhof in Düsseldorf, the Berlin bank building - almost predictably - is the least spectacular, at least from the outside.
		Facing Behrenstrasse, the building presents a different image which is more typical for Gehry, with closely packed small windows suspended in front of a curving and bulging facade.

		This bank headquarters was erected in the centre of Dusseldorf in 1964.
		The treatment of the buildings erected in 1723 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and the later additions in the form of the so-called Trade Fair Palace was a subject of endless debate.
		In designing this building, Michael and Patty Hopkins intended to provide themselves not just with a home and an office for their recently established practice, but also to try out on a small scale the techniques they were developing for larger, commercial buildings.

		The new main Berlin branch of DG Bank is indicative of the bank's willingness to embrace new realities.
		The current building boom going on in Berlin has garnered controversy inside and outside the city, as an international roster of architects put up signature structures all over town.
		The new main Berlin branch of Frankfurt-based DG Bank is as symbolic to the institution that commissioned it as the Brandenberg Gate is to Berliners, explains Detlef Marquardt, DG Bank's executive vice president.

	Gehry's Geode - DG Bank headquarters in Berlin Architectural Review, The - Find Articles
		The new DG Bank headquarters in Berlin forms part of the wider and ongoing reconstruction of Pariser Platz - but its urban sobriety hides a rich inner life, animated by the interplay of light, form and materials.
		At that time, the DG Bank invited him and six others to produce a proposal for the bank's new Berlin headquarters.
		Clad in 4 inch thick stone, the bank facade is almost as shocking in its solid, rationalist monumentality as Gehry's signature sinuousness and its extreme weight and abstraction only serve to show up the flimsiness of the surrounding pastiche.

		Another project of his, the DZ (DG) Bank building in Berlin, Germany is even more sculptural.
		The symbolism of the suppressed violence of Gehry's building instead refers to the tragic events of the war.

		He insists that his buildings address the context and culture of their particular sites, as well as provide a comfortable, stimulating experience to their occupants.
		Gehry also believes that architecture is primarily an aesthetic endeavor -- a question of the qualities of material and form -- which means that his risks revolve around the architectural possibilities of unexplored shapes and untried materials.
		And though he claims not to be a Deconstructionist, he has often given his buildings an incomplete look -- exposed rafters, studs, plywood, corrugated steel, wire fencing mesh, and idiosyncratically arranged curves and lines -- to achieve a sense of dislocation.

		This being, first and foremost, a bank, the facade - a cascading mixture of sand-coloured stone and swooning glass, graced by massive chrome and glass doors - subtly disguises what lies beyond.
		As the building is owned by the DZ Bank, ordinary visitors aren't allowed in - you'll have to restrict your enthusiasm and stick to the outside.

		This was the limiting height for tall buildings until 1989 and is clearly marked as an urban datum on Frankfurt’s skyline.
		It is terminated by a projecting cornice-fan which is intended to magnify the spatial quality of this gesture and also to convey a sense of “roof” to the plaza below.
		The steel cornice-fan on top of the building weighs 95 tons and is heated in winter to avoid icing - as this would be particularly dangerous to traffic beneath due to the size of the overhang.

		There's a table full of wood-and-mesh models for the Nationale-Nederlanden Building in Prague, more familiarly known as the "Fred and Ginger building" on account of its tower forms, which appear to be caught mid-tango.
		The same is true for a model of the conference room for the DG Bank building in Berlin, which is still under construction.
		Construction hasn't begun yet on this project (it begins in 2001), but what we have in front of us is a set of blocky brick buildings interrupted by Gehry's signature metal avalanche--it seeps out through the spaces between the square forms and flows out toward the street.

		Instead of seeing technology as a barrier between North and South, we should see it as a bridge – and we must work together, not only in the name of social justice, but because we are all, in the end, each other’s customers.
		We need to see the WTO's technical assistance and World Bank capacity building as two sides of the same coin - an integrated strategy to give developing countries the productive resources they need to be full partners in the global economy.
		Our work with the Bank on a new coordinated programme of trade support and capacity building for developing countries is advancing well, and I am in a position to report in Seattle that developing countries have the full backing of the WTO, the World Bank, and the IMF as they engage in new trade negotiations.

		Gehry relates in his 1999 interview with Forster how an installation of a double row of firebricks by Carl Andre at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1966 was a kind of epiphany for him.
		The standardized building material had a tactile and sensuous dimension, but it wholly lacked the interiority associated with more "humanistic" substances like wood and stone.
		Here Paul Scheerbart’s and Bruno Taut’s early twentieth-century vision of a crystalline necklace of "city crowns"— jewel-like buildings serving as both local centerpieces and constituents of a far-flung utopian community— is reprogrammed for the commodity culture’s logic of endless circulation.

		Chinese banks, by strengthening their internal risk management structures will not only be able to gain competitive advantage among themselves but will be in a better position to fend of competition from foreign banks whilst building up their banking sector into a truly world class one.
		This 'wait and see' approach offers banks in Asia several advantages, the most important of which is an ability to learn from the successes and mistakes of their peers in Europe and North America as many of their larger financial institutions grapple with becoming Basel II compliant.
		As a number of Chinese banks prepare to list in overseas financial markets the optimisation of returns from their capital base grows evermore important, not only for their own underlying profitability but also for enhanced shareholder returns in the privatised world of finance.
