Considered an iportant exaple of
deconstructivist architecture, the Hsolar
Research Institute building was realized
in 1987, at the Universit of Stuttgart
capus in Stuttgart -Vaihingen. The project
was copleted under the leadership of
Professor Günter Behnisch, who, at thattie, directed the practice Behnisch &
Partner together with partners Winfried
Büxel, manfred Sabatke and Erhard
Tränkner. The building originall acco-
odated two institutes – one for solar cell
research, the other for the developent of
cost-effective ethods of separating the
eleents of water. The progra for the
building consisted offices, soe labora-
tories, a storehouse, and ancillar service
roos. A scaffold in front of t he building
carried various solar cells.
The project had to be copleted on a
tight schedule and budget, so there were
advantages in partl using factor-ade
containers for the laborator roo s.
For Behnisch & Partner this was a good
opportunit to explore was of using
prefabricated eleents in an unorthodox
anner, a collage of el eents which
seeed to float in a free, spatial
equilibriu. The ost extravagant foral
gesture is a red steel tube which bursts
fro the ground north of the building and
traverses the hall and projects through theglazed south end. Research institutes are
often quite boring, repressing everthing
special about their function within an
orthogonal, standard, grid-like plan inside

a box. This space, on the other hand, is
eorable, conveing the exciteent of
the trailblazing innovative work that takes
place within.
Unfortunatel, the Hsolar building stood
ept for an ears after the originaltenants, for who the building had been
designed, vacated the propert. In 2006,
the Universit of Stuttgart decided to
coission Günter Behnisch again with a
stud in order to find out how the building
could be restored, renovated and extended
to accoodate the newl established
Institute for Visualisation & Interactive
Sstes (VISUS).
Soe tie after the copletion of the
stud, the planning process for the
renovation and addition to the buildingwas carried out jointl between Behnisch
Architekten and Harder III Stupfl.
Harder III Stupfl were coissioned
with the planning of the extension to the
building, while Stefan Behnisch (Behnisch
Architekten) was coissioned with
the restoration and odernisation of the
original Hsolar building.
Under the architectural leadership of
Stefan Behnisch, the building was restored
in collaboration with Harder III Stupfl
in such a anner that its characteristicappearance and its tpical features
reained exactl as the were, while the
building sstes were updated to eet
toda’s advanced technical standards. Both
the technical equipent and the building
envelope were copletel renewed to
eet the requireents of future genera-
tions of scie ntists. These upgrades were
carried out in such a anner that the
are virtuall iperceptible and do not
adversel affect the unique character ofthe building. In addition, the photovoltaic
plant, which had been reoved in
the past, was also re-installed. It now
contributes to the building’s energ suppl.
The building extension for the Visualisa-
tion Institute created b Harder III Stupfl
was likewise designed in a anner t hat
would ake it unobtrusive and where it
would not copete with the original and
newl renovated Hsolar building. The
annex opened in the suer of 2010.
