The Olivetti Towers in Frankfurt (1968–72), designed by Egon Eiermann, are a landmark of late modernist architecture. At 52 and 57 meters tall, the twin high-rises stand on distinctive funnel-shaped concrete pillars with a steel skeleton façade and sun-shading elements. Built as the German headquarters of Olivetti, they combined offices, training facilities, and a canteen. Today, they are listed monuments and will be preserved as part of a new “Olivetti Campus.” Pictures made by myself with Canon 6d and 16-35mm f4 L Lens submitted by /u/philiphotographer |
