Cast-stone and concrete floors for German Embassy

摘要

The Chancery of the German Embassy in Paris is located in the 8th arrondissement on Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, quite central, on the rear side of the Grand Palais and only a few steps from the Champs Ely-sees. The building, erected as a reinforced concrete skeleton construction, originates from the 1960s and was completely renovated between 2015 and 2019 under the supervision of the German Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning (BBR): according to the BBR, "... with focus on renovation of the above-ground stories as well as replacement of the facade." The architectural firm Baumewerd from Muenster, Germany, was commissioned for the necessary planning of this project. The founder of the firm, Prof. Dieter Georg Baumewerd, who died in December last year, numbers among the leading representatives of German and international post-war architecture and made a name for himself in particular for the museums and embassies he built.
