Germany is to host the Green Climate Fund Center in Bonn, and has chosen the design by LAVA – the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture – as the winner of the competition. The center is to be built using the latest digital fabrication technologies.

The net zero energy building is to be completely supplied with its own clean energy on site. LAVA is one of the visionary architectural firms responsible for MASDAR City, in Abu Dhabi – a complete sustainable eco city.

The three level Bonn Climate Fund headquarters is an ecological model project, where the surfaces will integrate various means of energy production.

It will meet the the latest energy and building ecology standards and the highest demands in terms of sustainability (German gold certificate), ecology and energy efficiency (net zero energy).

“LAVA has worked closely with the advanced research facilities and experts at the world renowned Fraunhofer IAO to generate intelligent systems, materials and skins that respond to external influences such as air pressure, temperature, humidity, solar-radiation and pollution,” said LAVA director Alexander Rieck.

Offices with state-of-the-art office technology, logistics areas with security controls and a visitor reception zone, an auditorium, a conference room, a canteen/cafeteria and an underground car park create optimal working conditions.
