The Otto Bock Medical and Science Centre opened in Berlin with the aim of being a communication centre for medical and technological advances of our time. The Centre designed by German architectural firm Gnädinger Architekten was created from the idea of human muscle fibers, a metaphor for the simulation of complex biological processes and structures. Gnädinger created an amorphous, abstract façade, which wraps dynamically around the six-storey, reinforced concrete frame, encompassing around 1,000 square meters of floor space. Inside the centre, an exhibition offers the public to discover ‘what moves us’ and an insight into high-quality and technically exceptional prosthetic solutions.
