目的是在最少的空间内建立一个新的货运中心，以使可出租的外部区域保持在最大限度。因此，货运中心的位置尽可能靠近东部的铁路路堤。

The objective was to establish a new Cargo Center on minimal space in order to keep the rentable outside area at a maximum. Therefore, the Cargo Center has been positioned as closely to the railway embankment in the East as possible.

货运中心符合法兰克福大部分展览大楼的大规模。正面设计清楚地表明了建筑物的用途。建筑物的方向和形状也实现了这一目的。大厅的代表面朝向空地。它引人注目的大门和一个“集装箱”正面将它划分为一个货运大厅。大厅东侧的办公楼设计为4层建筑，连接较低层的卡车出入平台，使卡车能够在地面上装卸。

The Cargo Center fits into the large scale of the majority of the Frankfurt exhibition buildings. The facade design clearly indicates the use of the building. Also the orientation and shape of the building achieve this purpose. The representative side of the hall is orientated towards the open space. Its striking gates and a “container” facade demarcate it as a cargo hall. The office building on the Eastern edge of the hall is designed as a 4-storey building bridging the lorry access platform on a lower level enabling the lorries to be loaded and unloaded at ground level.

建筑。货物中心的外壳由木材和混凝土预制结构和木屋顶结构组成，后者由跨度为21m的2米高的层合木桁架组成。屋顶由梯形金属制成，覆盖着广泛的绿化，是为安装大型太阳能系统而设计的。

Construction. The shell of the Cargo Center consists of a prefabricated construction made of timber and concrete and a timber roof construction, which consists of 2m high layer-laminated wooden trusses with a span of 21m. The roof made of trapezoidal sheet metal is covered with extensive greening, and was designed for the installation of a large-scale solar energy system.

法塔德。大厅由一个高度绝缘的模块化正面系统组成，该系统具有两种不同的前置宽度。30厘米宽的灰色白纸面板与20厘米宽的元素在其他七种色系中结合在一起。友好的灰色和红色阴影给正面一个轻重量的印象，和谐地融入现有的环境。不同颜色的苗条正面踏板分布在三条水平条纹上，相间放置在一起，这就促进了装订容器的结合。办公室的外壳由预制的混凝土构件和丝状天花板组成。

Façade. The hall consists of a highly insulated modular facade system, which plays with two different profil widths. The 30cm wide sheet panels in Grey-White are combined with 20cm wide elements in seven other colour shades. The friendly shades in Grey and Red give the facade a light-weight impression, which harmoniously blends in with the existing surrounding. The slim facade treads in different colours are distributed over three horizontal stripes positioned on top of each other, which fosters the association of stapled containers. The shell of the office tract consists of prefabricated concrete elements with filigree ceilings.
