“Imagine working in a building shaped like a honeycomb!” Right here, you see the Rank-Xerox-Haus, a masterpiece of Brutalist architecture. This style, popular in the 1950s-80s, often gets a bad rap. People associate it with drab concrete structures. But the Rank-Xerox-Haus shows the beauty of this style! Designed by the renowned firm Hentrich, Petschnigg & Partner, it was completed in 1971. The building served as the headquarters for Rank Xerox, a prominent name in the world of photocopying. Look at the building. It’s not just one big block, is it? It’s a cluster of interconnected hexagons! This unique design isn’t just for show. It creates a dynamic and interconnected workspace. Inside, the building boasts irregular floor plans and warm color schemes. It’s a testament to how Brutalist architecture can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Today, the Rank-Xerox-Haus stands as a protected landmark, a testament to Dusseldorf’s architectural heritage.
