Textilakademie NRW opening ceremony
Today saw the grand opening of the Textilakademie NRW on the Niederrhein University of Applied Science campus in Mönchengladbach in the presence of Armin Laschet, North Rhine-Westphalia Prime Minister, and city Mayor Hans Wilhelm Reiners.
Designed by sop architekten, the new building with its textile façade project the academy’s teaching programme beyond its walls, providing a public showcase for the many and varied uses of textiles. Visible from afar, the shimmering silver fabric envelops the cube-shaped building like the folds of a curtain.
