The complex on the site of a former railway station is used for the presentation of innovative concrete products and as a training centre. In the middle of the extensive exhibition grounds, an ensemble of old and new buildings, which are connected to each other via a platform-like platform, forms the centre of the complex.
The listed station buildings build a bridge to the beginnings of railway traffic. In addition to administration and technology, the small-scale rooms primarily house gastronomy for catering to guests. Opposite the station is a new building, which - following the site - steps like stairs. The entrance level can be fully opened via large-format windows and forms an extension of the platform for presentations and events. On the lower level there are three interconnectable rooms for training courses and lectures. They are oriented towards a contemplative courtyard. The entire presentation, lighting and air conditioning technology is concealed in the component layers.
