EXTENT OF THE FACADE INTERVENTION

DESCRIPTION
Parktower - also known as DZ Bank am Opernplatz, Tectum Tower, GZ-Bank AG, Genossenschaftliche Zentralbank, and SGZ-Bank- is an office tower in Frankfurt, Germany. The building was originally built in 1972 and underwent a re-clad in 2008. With this intervention, the building increased three levels, and the geometry of the building was supplemented with a second block, which lies down like a stone buckle around the shaft of the tower.
