Architects: MVRDV, kwa | Owner/Developer: Schwarz Immobilien Service

Covering around 30 hectares, the IPAI Campus in Heilbronn, Germany, is taking shape as a new landscape for AI‑driven research and digital innovation. From the earliest planning stages, the project has demanded rapid decision-making, close collaboration, and the ability to synchronise across multiple disciplines. A key aspect is its interdisciplinary nature: unlike in classical façade consulting, we are acting as the façade general planner. Managing up to eight buildings in parallel, we unite concept development, technical planning, detailed design, system optimisation, and tender documentation into one seamless process. With diverse façade typologies and ambitious architectural intent, every day requires clarity, flexibility, and precise coordination. Working closely with architects, the client, and the early‑engaged contractor, the IPAI Campus shows how interdisciplinary planning and technical depth create truly future‑ready façade solutions.
