CMS Hasche Sigle advises Wolfsburg on the construction of the Science Center Phæno

06/12/2005

The opening ceremony of the Science Center Phæno with its avantgarde architecture took place on 24.11.2005 in Wolfsburg in the presence of the Ministerpräsident of Lower Saxony Wulff, the chairman of the board of directors of VW Pischetsrieder and the mayor Schnellecke. CMS Hasche Sigle advised the subsidiary acting for the town of Wolfsburg, Neuland Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH, on the planning and construction of the museum.

In an international architectural competition the draft by the London star architect and Pritzker award winner Zaha Hadid was selected. With her draft she created a futuristic place greatly admired in the press and in professional circles which was also christened "extraterrestrial marvel". The construction with craters, terraces, plateaus, underground caves and without a single right angle was particularly challenging for the architects, structural engineers and construction companies, For more information on the building please see www.phaeno.de .
