Bowed and thermally "bent" insulating glass in Düsseldorf's Kö-Bogen

Gently curved landmark at the end of the glamorous boulevard Düsseldorf's Königsallee is not only famous for the luxury offers of its urban boulevard - it is, when viewed from the South, also the proverbial precursor to the Kö-Bogen which has been created at the Northern end of the boulevard: a building complex designed by Daniel Libeskind, whose facade of natural stone and curved full-glass elements lends new impetus to the urban flair around Jan Wellem-Platz.  The result is the Kö-Bogen, designed by the New York star architect Daniel Libeskind, two separate buildings which, with a height of 26 metres and a circumference of over 500 metres, represent an imposing building complex and a real eye-catcher on the Düsseldorf skyline.Unique in Europe is the use on this scale of curved and thermally "bent" dual insulated glass as an element of the facade design.
