Sonja Gallo guest speaker at “ZAK World of Facades”
“Designing Facades at a Human Scale“

 The international conference took place on 12 November at the Frankfurt Hilton City Center. Sonja Gallo, CAO at caspar., was also invited to speak. In her presentation, she focused on the motto “Scale:Human”, providing insights into selected facade projects from the caspar. portfolio.

How can facade design meet emotional and spatial needs? How can materials, proportions and atmosphere be reimagined in combination? Alongside an exhibition showcasing the diversity of caspar’s facade projects, Sonja Gallo placed a special focus on the soon-to-be-completed Deiker Höfe future district in Düsseldorf, notable for its spectacular wooden slat facade. She also provided an update on the recently completed revitalisation of the LYGHT office tower in Düsseldorf and the Frankfurt Park Tower, which is currently in the planning stage. She also presented our concept for the ‘Twins in the Park’ at Düsseldorf’s Seestern, where two vibrant residential buildings are set to replace a former office complex. We recently won first prize in the ideas competition with this design.

On the day of the conference, numerous speakers and panellists from renowned international architecture and planning firms took to the stage. The programme was fantastic, offering lots of new ideas and perspectives. Thank you very much for allowing us to be part of it!
