It is a special task for an architect to design a building in which aesthetic perception is explored. The three buildings stand on the roadside like three suitcases from different eras. Thanks to their staggered arrangement and differentiated proportions, each of them is recognizable as an independent volume. Although all three buildings are constructed using the same clinker brick material, each of them speaks its own language. The three parts of the building tell the story of the development of aesthetics in architecture and thus create a contextual reference to the work of the Max Planck Institute. The central role is played by the path from the detailed and ornamental design approach of the 19th century to the reduced aesthetics of the 21st century, which in its increasing abstraction is limited to volume and materiality. The old building stands for patchwork and ornamentation, the middle building varies the rhythm of the old building through superimposition, the third building deals with the themes of flatness and abstraction.
