All “just” a facade?
The first impression counts!
At this newly built transfusion centre of the Mainz University Medical Centre, it is already apparent from the outside what the inside of the building is all about. Symbolically depicted giant blood corpuscles decorate the side view of the modern building. The design for this impressive façade design was created by the Marcel Balsen & Marcel Friedrich Weber consortium and won first place in the “Kunst am Bau” competition.
ACCENTFORM was commissioned by Balsen & Weber Gbr to mill the relief-like blood cell structure. The overall image was divided into more than 40 segments according to a specific grid. We milled the individual segments from special facade styrofoam and delivered them to the customer. The individual parts were then assembled on site, directly on the building, and covered with plaster in the same way as the rest of the façade. The large-format blood cell relief thus literally merges with the building.
