Products & Services
Gerber Architekten offers a comprehensive range of services including architecture, interior design, urban design, and landscape architecture. Our expertise also includes regeneration and building within existing structures, with a strong focus on sustainability. Through the use of BIM and parametric design, we ensure efficient processes and innovative, future-oriented solutions.
Architecture
King Fahad National Library
The King Fahad National Library, one of the most important cultural buildings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was completed and went into use for its intended purpose in 2015. This project sees Professor Eckhard Gerber and his Gerber Architekten team accomplishing one of the most important urban development and cultural projects in the capital, Riyadh. The design functions as the central driving force behind a piece of urban development and rearrangement, and combines the challenge of designing within the existing building stock with respect for Arabian culture.
Landscape Design
King Salman Park
The King Salman Park in Riyadh is the world's largest inner-city park in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At the heart of the circular innovation loop lies the so-called Central Park, while the Finger Parks, an art park, and the Northern Lands create a seamless transition to the city beyond. The Central Park integrates wooded areas, deep wadis, and diverse garden and climate zones. A total of 30 million plants from 800 species will contribute to rich biodiversity. Construction on the 16.6 km² site of the former Riyadh airport began in 2023. The first of over one million trees have already been planted, and large greenhouses are facilitating the gradual acclimatization of the plants. To optimize the soil for biodiversity in King Salman Park, a specialized mixture of limestone, red sand, volcanic rock, biochar, and compost has been developed.King Salman Park is a visionary project that will significantly improve the climate, enhance the microclimate, and serve as an ecological asset, particularly in advancing research on desert vegetation.
Interior Design
Head Office Volksbank Krefeld eG
A sculptural architectural design accentuates the diagonally two entrances. The open ‘marketplace’ character, supported by a public cafe at the main entrance, creates a smooth transition to the public space churchyard.
The cafe is furnished with tables beneath the overhanging roof and the existing beautiful trees in the square. Because of the high windows of the main building entrance to Dionysius Platz, Church and tower are almost perceivable from every point of the hall.
All customer service offices are arranged on the ground floor and 1st level, they are oriented towards the hall and designed in the quality of open “market stalls”.
Urban Design
South Part of International Financial City in Central Business Area, Jinan, China
Based on the master plan, four mixed-use high-rise buildings are being constructed in the Central Business District of Jinan (Shandong, China). The office towers, which will be up to 100m high and divided into 22 floors, will house shops, offices and government facilities. Viewing platforms and green roof terraces characterize the roofscapes of the high-rise buildings, enhancing the quality of living and working. The ground floor zone of the building ensemble will offer commercial uses as well as a citizens’ hall. Landscaped open spaces between the buildings invite visitors to stroll and cross the area.
Regeneration Sustainability
Dortmunder U – Center for the Arts and Creativity, Dortmund, Germany
With its new ‘vertical’ – i.e. the ground-to-roof – entrance atrium the size of the U-Tower’s volume (a former part of the Union Brewery) can be fully experienced from inside for the first time. Escalators lead from the ground-floor foyer past all the exhibition levels to the ‘cathedral room’ directly underneath the illuminated ‘U’ sign on top of the tower. Conically contorted, metal-clad cubic shapes penetrate the building from inside out. They appear like counterpoints to the existing red clinker façades and point to the unusual roof shape of the ‘cathedral room’.
BIM / Parametrics
Allianz Park Stuttgart
The new Allianz Park Stuttgart in the south of Baden-Württemberg’s state capital is a prime example of climate-sensitive contemporary office architecture. An office campus has been created for one of the world’s largest insurers, Allianz, which combines a climate-friendly design approach with newly conceived working environments. The anchor point is an almost 100-year-old oak tree that marks the central main entrance, the plaza. In combination with a 17-storey solitary building visible from afar, several organically shaped, lower solitary buildings are grouped in the permeable landscape space. This open plaza situation integrates Allianz Park into the natural urban space.
