CISPA Institute chooses innovative ventilation and architectural integration with DucoWall Classic 50HP

Project overview

The new CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken is a state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to tackling the pressing challenges of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Commissioned by SHS Strukturholding Saar GmbH, the building was designed by HPP International Düsseldorf and developed by HPP Architekten Frankfurt to meet the highest standards of modern research infrastructure.

Architectural Concept & Ventilation Challenge

The building features a striking double-skin facade that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. To ensure optimal air circulation between the facade layers while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance, the architects integrated the DucoWall Classic 50HP louvre wall system. This solution was chosen for its high airflow capacity and seamless architectural fit.

Seamless design integration

The DucoWall Classic 50HP louvres span multiple floors, creating a visually cohesive interplay between the sleek glass elements and functional louvre walls. The repeated louvre sections provide a rhythmic design element that complements the transparent facade while ensuring efficient airflow management.

A high-performance ventilation solution

With the DucoWall Classic 50HP, the CISPA building benefits from:

• Optimal natural ventilation, ensuring air circulation between the facade layers.
• Aesthetically pleasing integration, complementing the modern research environment.
• High durability, suitable for long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

Conclusion

This project highlights the DucoWall Classic 50HP as the ideal solution for high-airflow facade applications, seamlessly blending functionality and design in cutting-edge research facilities.
“The DucoWall Classic 50HP is the perfect choice when large air volumes are needed without compromising design integrity”, concludes Kurt Verstappen.
