Germany's Central Bank Claims Success in Blockchain Settlement Trial

This post was originally published here

Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany’s central bank, and Deutsche Börse, owner of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, have completed a blockchain trial investigating the technology’s potential in securities settlement.

The two announced in a joint press release Oct. 25 that two blockchain prototypes built to their specifications had “successfully” supported the settlement of securities transactions, payments (including interest) and bond repayments at maturity.

The project got started in March 2016, when both parties launched BLOCKBASTER (for blockchain-based settlement technology research) project – aimed to create “a conceptual prototype” for blockchain-based system to transfer and settle securities and fiat currency.

The prototypes were developed on Hyperledger Fabric and the blockchain platform created by Digital Asset (DA), which is notably also working with the Australian Securities Exchange to replace its CHESS system in 2020.

According to the release, the tests showed that the prototypes are ble to facilitate the “productive operation of a realistic financial market infrastructure.” Recent upgrades of both blockchain platforms could further improve performance if integrated, it adds.

“The tests have shown that blockchain technology is a suitable basis for applications in the field of settlement and other financial infrastructures,” said Berthold Kracke, CEO of Clearstream Banking and head of Clearstream Global Operations at Deutsche Börse Group.

Burkhard Balz, member of the executive board, Deutsche Bundesbank, added the firms expect the development to continue apace, and that they see “potential in using it for high-volume applications.”

He added:

“The approach of a permissioned architecture, which takes into account the requirements of the financial sector from the outset, has proven to be right.”

As in other industries, blockchain technology is increasingly being eyed by major firms as a means to improve payment and settlement systems. Just yesterday, U.K.-based settlement infrastructure provider SETL was granted a license from France’s securities regulator to operate a central securities depository system using blockchain tech.

The Singapore Stock Exchange, South Africa’s central bank and Bank of Canada have all been conducting similar blockchain trials.

The studio petrjanda/brainwork won an international architecture competition for the Abu Dhabi Flamingo Visitor Center in the protected area of the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve. The main idea is to connect the visitor center with the environment of the reserve. Using material and shape mimicry, the building organically connects its appearance with the environment of the reserve.

Abu Dhabi Flamingo Visitor Center Photographs

Text by the Architects

The Abu Dhabi Flamingo Visitor Center works with the natural connection between the organic and inorganic components of nature, which permeates not only the technical part of the building (cooling and condensation system) but also all exhibition and didactic strategies (living parts of the facades, water elements, and indoor life organisms). The smooth connection of individual operation sections into an intertwined continuous floor plan creates a large number of surprising situations achieving a complex impression and spontaneous transfer of information to visitors in a small area. The building is designed as a visitor center containing elements of a small museum with an emphasis on flamingo nesting, allowing exhibition and program expansion (specifics of live forms influenced by carotenoid, partially live displays forming small biotopes).

Architectural design, spatial configuration

The spatial arrangement of the building is based on an O and S-shape intertwined composition with a circular floor plan, which naturally leads visitors through its folds and gradually opens the individual highlights of the building’s program and its interaction with the reserve. The building deliberately does not work with two-dimensional floor plans. It is more of a celebration of a three-dimensional natural world and its natural elegance. The dynamic curve arrangement and continuous shaping enable barrier-free movement around the building and infinitely diverse modulation of visitors’ perception. Blending of the exterior into a shaded forecourt and interior almost without a structurally articulated interface gives the object its timelessness.

View from a distance while arriving at the building initiates visitors into exploring the object, which, despite its iconic character, seems to merge with the terrain. The facility works with the observer’s imagination using hints of natural phenomena that we have been used to reading since childhood (such as images in the clouds). The building thus refers to its connotations indirectly and subliminally through shape, material, and fragmentary indications. The resulting form is, therefore, not unequivocally geomorphic or zoomorphic. It can be seen as references to the morphology of a sleeping flamingo as well as to rock formations in the Arabian desert with their significant stratification revealed by erosion. The design uses an emphasis on bird’s eye view with regard to the topic associated with flamingos and their migration and flying. The building belongs to a few objects where the view from the air is part of their reading (during the design process, we consulted ornithologists and bird photographers on birds behavior and the possible reaction of birds to the appearance of the building and environmental change, and a landmark with organic shape seems to be beneficial for their orientation).

The building deliberately does not work with two-dimensional floor plans. In fact, it is more of a celebration of a three-dimensional natural world and its natural elegance.

Dramaturgy and program content

The strategy of the visitor’s movement is based on the gradual exploration and revealing of the building and its contents (similarly to the entire reserve exploration). The building is not divided into individual rooms, and visitors move through several interconnected sectors that contain all the required functions, and are supplemented by technical and organizational spaces and complements inaccessible to visitors.

From the car park, access to the building leads through the roof, on which there is a lake (pink lake biotope) illuminating through the transparent bottom the main hall of the building below. Using a gradual ramp, visitors descend through a fold between the rotating tubes of the building’s volume to an observation terrace shaded from the sun by a levitating overhang – a tube containing the display area and the main viewpoint of the reserve. The terrace is separated from the reserve by a bay formed by a water element with a saltwater biotope containing microorganisms specific to the reserve. Our proposal sees the exhibition content as more complex and uses the specific reserve environment to outline the methodology in a bigger picture, showing the principles of color changes affected by carotenoid (flamingos, water, crustacean, plants, algae) and other possible topics. The exhibition is conceived as partially live with the plants and aquariums that help to maintain a pleasant climate with different humidity. Proceeding in the exhibition, visitors get to the culminating height point of the exhibition tube, which allows a maximum view of the reserve through a wide panoramic window. Another principle used to separate movement of visitors is a division into a sheltered area of the visitor center (interior and shaded terraces) and move around the reserve and parking area in the open air.

Description of preliminary structural concept and construction method

The building’s structure is an insulated sandwich made of cast and torched colored concrete finished with sandblasting. The used material itself offers a didactic layer regarding the material, its color, texture, and structure, and the live organisms layer, which complements it and participates in cooling.

The technological process of pouring the concrete mixture will be carried out in layers with the resulting effect of a characteristic appearance reminiscent of rock formations in the Arabian desert, emphasizing the layers of the colored pink-red concrete referring to carotenoid color changes in flamingos. The individual layers will be cast up to the height of 40 cm so that the “geological” graining is highlighted. The individual layers will be colored during concreting.

Technology

The design uses an innovative solution for the entire building based on the active use of heat distribution using two layers of coolant distribution (liquid) integrated into the shell of the inner and outer shell of the building, which uses the temperature difference during the day and night. During the day, the indoor circuit is supplied with cooling water, which cools the entire inner shell of the concrete shell of the building and ensures pleasant cooling of the whole interior by indirect evaporative cooling with the effect of natural humidity suitable for the inner plant layer of the exhibition. During the night, the water heated during the day from the internal system is pumped into the outer circuit below the surface of the building shell, where the warmer water is cooled by night cooling air. The condensation on the building’s surface also waters lichens growing on the building surface. Using the smart circulation it significantly reduces the operational costs while keeping a pleasant full surface cooling effect. Combined with controlled air circulation with maximum recovery, it creates a pleasant and environmentally sustainable climate in the building with a significant saving of energy (fully electrified system) with minimal carbon footprint in the environment.

Life organisms concept

The concept of a live building uses plants connected to biotopes that are created directly by individual parts of the building. The surface of the building will be covered with lichens Xanthoria elegant nourished by the night surface condensation on the warm building’s shell. Lichens will visually transform the building over time in color shades the same way the color of flamingo changes depending on the food intake and the carotenoids it contains. The originally pinkish layered concrete will get light red accents highlighting the organic form of the building. The entire indoor exhibition uses a live plant system combining the layers of grasses (Carex buchananii, Miscanthus Sinensis’ FLAMINGO’, etc.), higher reed and climbers, supplemented with lichen layers and local small aquarium biotopes in crater showcases grown into the floor using the method similar to building nests by flamingos. The third layer includes water biotopes located in two different versions of saltwater lakes with high salinity containing Dunaliella salina, Halobacterium cutirubrum in combination with high concentrations of crustaceans, Artemia brine prawn, and other organic cultures. These are located in the visitor’s entrance area, separating it from the nature reserve and on the roof of the building with the transparent bottom, ensuring the distribution of light into the main hall.

In 2020 Austrian Architecture firm Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes completed the design of a new pedestrian bridge at the Angers Saint-Laud train station. The bridge is characterized by a soft, full arch that crosses the entire width of 70 meters, carved into the topography of the city by the bundles of rails. Its substructure consists of a hollow box and steel brackets in which benches with wooden seats are integrated on the west side of the arch.

Footbridge at Angers Saint-Laud TGV Station Technical Information

Architects: Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes

Location: Angers, Pays de la Loire, France

Design Team: Jan Feichtinger, Radek Smrcina, Jordan Kalapchiev

Topics: Wood Portico, Bridge

Dimensions: 150 m long x 8 m wide x 6 m heigh

Competition year: 2015

Project Year: 2018 – 2020

The wooden porticoes become strong identity elements of the bridge. They underline the crossing and enter into a dialogue with the city. They punctuate the journey. By their different distances, their slightly variable sections and the arched layout of the bridge, they open up constantly new perspectives on the tracks, the arriving and departing trains.

– Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes

Footbridge at Angers Saint-Laud TGV Station Photographs

The bridge as a way and a place

It is elegant, light, and links large areas. Striking frames made of laminated wood beams support the roof and lighting, direct the eye, and exalts the bridge into a new Landmark. They change their spacing, the substructure changes its cross-section, accentuating the character of the bridge depending on the situation – entering, ascending stairs, walking, waiting, sitting, watching, exiting. The bridge is a unique construction at the scale of the area with a high-quality course, which raises awareness of the specificity of the place. Its arched course ensures that its ramp gently touches the new promenade on Place Giffard-Lagenvin and the park. Three lifts and stairs create a direct, obstacle-free, and bicycle-friendly connection with the station and hotel, as well as with the platforms of the trains to Paris and Nantes. In its aesthetics, the bridge is an expression of the renewal of the Station district.

Text by the Architects

Angers is the capital of the departments of Maine-et-Loire, in the west of France. The city of 153,000 inhabitants is located about 100 km north-east of Nantes and 300 km from Paris. Angers Saint-Laud railway station is a major transport hub in the city center. A TGV train to Paris stops there 13 times a day, traveling the distance in 1.45 hours. There are about 40 trains a day to Nantes. The station is located rue Auguste Gautier to the north of the railway line; rue Fulton passes to the south of it. In the area of the station, the bundles of rails are about 70 meters wide and cut a deep corridor running towards the city. The old reinforced concrete pedestrian bridge, which crossed directly over the tracks, was severely damaged.

The urban development plans include an upgrading of the area. On the railway station side, offices and a multi-story car park have been built on Rue Auguste Gaultier, and a hotel is under construction. To the south of the bundle of tracks, a new promenade and park will be built on Fulton Street. The bridge for pedestrians and cyclists is part of this modernization and has been won by Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes. Their design is based on the urban scale, overcoming the barrier of the railway tracks and providing direct access for disabled people to the platforms via lifts and stairs.

Above all, it is a unique traffic structure that becomes a landmark with its gently curved path, its constructive elegance, and the remarkable laminated wood porticoes that support both the lighting and the flat roof. The varying distances between these punctuated images of the path offer different views of the tracks, the trains, and the city. Benches along the balustrades invite you to sit down. The bridge becomes a path and a place.

The wooden porticoes become strong identity elements of the bridge. They underline the crossing and enter into a dialogue with the city. They punctuate the journey. By their different distances, their slightly variable sections and the arched layout of the bridge, they open up new perspectives on the tracks, the arriving and departing trains.

They condense towards the middle of the bridge, creating a sheltered atmosphere that invites to pause, while the more considerable distances at the beginning and end of the bridge broaden more and more the view of the city. Work on the volume of this project also includes the shape of each portico. Its angle of inclination changes with the rhythm of the movement. In the middle, the cross-section of the frames is continuously enlarged. This continuous opening of the structures increases the significance of the bridge over the rails.

These wooden frames not only shape the relationship between the passers-by and the place, but they also have a specific function: they serve to integrate lighting, protect against weather and wind. These elements are integrated into their construction.

– Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes

Anti-slip strips are embedded in the wooden footbridge, ensuring that the bridge can be used safely even under adverse weather conditions.

The new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists at the St. Laid railway station is much more than just a railway crossing. It is a unique urban landmark where people like to stop, linger, talk, watch the trains, arrive or depart.

At the end of 2020, the construction of the Akhenaten Archaeological Museum in Minya is set to be completed according to Egypt’s antiquities ministry officials. The German government designed the museum as a gift for the Egyptian government in 1998 as a partnership between the Aten & Hildesheim Museums. Late architect Gamal Bakry modified the building.

Akhenaten Archaeological Museum Photographs

The idea of establishing the Akhenaten Museum began in 1979 after a twinning agreement between the city of Minya and the German city of Hildesheim. It was set to be one of the most critical aspects of the cultural presentation of the town of Akhenaten, telling the history between the Minya governorate and the capital of Egypt at that time.

Text Waad Ahmed Atia

AKHENATEN MUSEUM, the yet unfinished museum, has become a monument itself, and it is like all the masterpieces with unfinished touches, the light touch of eternity, like Venus’ missing arms and the missing pages of the illumination scene of a novel. But that sure has its disappointing side.

In Minya, a half green – half concrete linear city in Upper Egypt, the pyramid-shaped museum is located on the east bank of the Nile river. It has become a true representative landmark of the city. This sharp monolith can be seen from the corniche line on the western bank and in dramatic scenery from the road on the Nile bridge.

The museum design was set in 1998 after a partnership between Elminya and Heildishiem. The construction began in 2002, and due to several events and reasons, it is still unfinished today. Nonetheless, with its elegant form, it has already become a monument of the city. And a true landmark that defines the whole city.

After completing The Floating Farm Dairy, GOLDSMITH Company has been commissioned The Floating Farm Poultry in 2020. Similar to the adjacent cow farm the new structure will merge agricultural processing and production installations under one roof.

Floating Farm Poultry Technical Information

Architects: GOLDSMITH.COMPANY

Location: Merwehaven, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Material: Translucent polycarbonate

Client/initiator: Floating Farm Holding BV

Type: Farm

Gross Built Area: 3,500 m2

Design Year: 2020

Floating Farm Poultry Photographs

Text by the Architects

Urban farm

The Floating Farm Poultry is a design in succession of the Floating Farm Dairy. Similar to the adjacent cow farm it is organized as a logically stacked and compact agricultural building. The farm combines a poultry farm for 7000 hens and an indoor LED cress farm with an evocative factory floor that facilitates the processing of products from both farms. Fresh eggs, edible crops are also combined into a new range of products. Technologies that are based on circular principles and that minimize the ecological footprint are applied on all levels of the farm.

Public character

Besides being a functional farm, the building also fulfills an educational role for the city and its inhabitants. Technical installations, storage, production, and processing of egg- and crop products are all combined on board and are made visible as much as possible. The architecture expresses this transparent character, and the organization allows visitors to see most of the building’s inner workings without disturbing the various processes on board.

Stacked organization

The organization of components, the structural principles, and materialization applied to optimize buoyancy and stability, as well as enhance the transparent character of the building. In contrast to the Floating Farm Dairy, the lower level (consisting of three concrete pontoons) is fully utilized for farming vegetables, herbs, and cresses. The upper level is the poultry farm for egg-laying hens. Both production floors are connected with the factory floor via elevators and shafts.

The result is two fully utilized production floors for eggs and crops, with a factory floor for processing and packaging products in between. These levels of the building each have their own appearance in concrete, fully transparent glass, and translucent polycarbonate panels. Finally, on top, a steel frame with PV panels makes a strong and recognizable silhouette.

Sustainable principles

Technology that is based on circular principles and minimizing the ecological footprint of the building is aimed at all levels of the farm.

The mostly submerged level of the crop-producing LED farm recirculates warm humid air. An efficient air- and energy system reduces emissions of poultry dust and nitrogen. Chicken manure will be dried into fertilizer granules. The steel frame with PV panels articulates the architecture and generates a high percentage of the necessary electricity on board.

Food strip

The Floating Farm poultry is the subsequent step in the planned ‘food strip’ that will offer a wider variety of agricultural products. Besides that, this second farm will connect to a number of circular flows that are already present on site. The realization of the Floating Farm Poultry will hopefully strengthen the position of both farms within the city’s urban ecology and the M4H (Merwe-Vierhaven) developments. Not only as a new function for a previously abandoned area but mainly as a recognizable icon within a city district under development.

Twin Micro Cabins Renderings

Text by the Architect

NORTH / SOUTH are experimental micro cabins located in northern Sweden – twin cabins that share the same traits – materiality, colors, and content, but have different personalities.

NORTH, hostile and wild, sits towards the open plain with its quills combed back by the strong winds and makes a defiant and aggressive stance.

SOUTH, friendly and tame, tamed by the weather and its surrounding. It looks peaceful while levitating above the ground beneath with its quills disappearing towards it.

Quills are an essential element of the cabins that speaks the same language but in two very different tones. They consist of black painted timber sticks placed in several layers, horizontally or vertically, on a steel structure that supports them. Layering the sticks creates a thick coat around the core, offering an extra layer of insulation but also creates a unique cladding.

Cabins have the same prefabricated core, which is delivered in one piece to the site. Outer walls are insulated and cladded in steel sheet. The core contains entrance storage, bathroom, kitchenette/dining/office, and a bedroom for two people. Everything is kept at a bare minimum with the majority of furniture concealed in cabinets or inbuilt in the walls like the tables.

No matter how they are perceived, their sole purpose is to offer a silent and remote place for focus, meditation, and contact with the nature around them. Whether the visitor is a writer, a programmer, or a hunter, the cabin offers everything needed while working or resting for their adventures.

The Sleep Institute, designed by Hamza Shaikh, proposes a living lab facility to study the therapeutic effects of environmental stimuli on humans. The drawings are part of the final project of Hamza Shaikh at the University of Westminster, London.

The Sleep Institute Technical Information

Architects: Two Worlds Design / Hamza Shaikh

Location: London, UK

Topics: Student Project, Unbuilt, Circle Series, Prefabrication

Project Year: 2020

The outer world – environment and matter – has a direct effect on our inner world – perception and our senses. I am focused on understanding how humans experience space & place and learning about how our behaviour responds to it.

– Hamza Shaikh

The Sleep Institute Drawings

Text by the Architect

The project proposed looks to create a new institution for ‘Sleep Study’ in London. The facility will aim to explore the `restorative effects of environmental stimuli‘ on humans.

Set in a haven of natural beauty amongst a family of grade II listed Victorian gasometers, the research facility functions as a multipurpose getaway and retreat.

Trialists, residents, and visitors will experience various environments depending on the purpose of their stay. However, special facilitation is made for trialists participating in the 3-Stage Immersion program. These three environments are specially designed to variate in their level of ‘naturalness.’ This is done in the efforts to compare the difference in the therapeutic effects of natural and artificial stimuli – a long-disputed area of research in environmental/architectural psychology.

The Living Lab allows the most updated and optimal components to be used in deployable pods that will be dispatched throughout various transitory spaces in London.

In their latest design, Arup and Cobe have partnered to design two new metro stations of the Nordhavn metro line extension connecting the docklands to Copenhagen’s city center: Orientkaj and Nordhavn Stations. Opened in March 2020, the new infrastructure unlocks the potential for the redevelopment of Copenhagen’s northern docklands, one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in the north of Europe.

Orientkaj Metro Station Technical Information

Architects: Cobe + Arup

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Client: Metroselskabet

Type: Infrastructure

Topics: Pilotis, Concrete, Anodised Aluminium

Engineers: RambøllArup JV

Collaborators: Lighting Design: Arup | Landscape Architects: Cobe, Sleth, and Polyform | Contractor: Metnord

Platform Size: 44×9 m

Project Year: 2013 – 2020

The design of Orientkaj Metro station celebrates the character and industrial past of the docklands, but most importantly, it provides a great passenger experience for visitors to this growing area of Copenhagen.

– Kristian Winther, Arup’s lead architect.

Orientkaj Metro Station Photographs

Text by the Architects

The Orientkaj Metro station possesses distinct visual characteristics that reflect the character of the urban areas it serves. Tracing the outline of a shipping container, the overground Orientkaj station celebrates the large-scale volumes and brutalist features of the dockland’s industrial past. Still, it opens up to reveal a passenger-focused, human-scaled detailing on the inside.

The above-ground Orientkaj station has been designed as a prototype for future stations under the ongoing development of Copenhagen’s Nordhavn – a new city district – also designed by Cobe – which will add over 1,500,000 m2 of sustainable mixed-use buildings and provide homes for 40,000 residents and workspaces for another 40,000.

Nordhavn is a city of sustainable mobility, where it is easier to walk, bike, or use public transport than it is to drive your own car. The two metro stations unlock the potential of this new Copenhagen city district enabling more efficient and sustainable transport between the individual neighborhoods, and to the rest of Copenhagen while adding a new chapter to the story of Copenhagen harbourfront

– Dan Stubbergaard, Cobe founder

The harbor scale meets human detailing.

Anchored by bold concrete claws onto the Copenhagen harbor, the station is designed as a glass, concrete, and aluminum box commandeering panoramic views over the Orientkaj dock. As a prototype, the Orientkaj station is designed to make a statement, offering a model for any future overground stations in the Nordhavn development. Despite the station’s scale and sharp outline, the architects’ passenger-focused approach is highlighted by the detailing inside, from the lighting to the material palette.

Serving a mixed-use urban area with offices, transformed warehouses, and new housing developments, Orientkaj station needed to be distinctive enough to become a local landmark, while blending in with the surrounding white buildings.

Anticipating a possible future high-rise development next to the station, the architects have used anodized aluminum panels on all façades as well as roof and soffit: placed at angles, the aluminum cladding catches the colors of the sky and ensures the station offers beautiful lines of sight from all angles.

Views from the station platform have also been a critical design consideration: the large, glass platform screen doors mean that on a clear day, passengers can look across the Øresund into Sweden. Two rotated, concrete staircases connect the station to the ground level. Under the station, the 33-meter long concrete spans and V-shaped piers minimize the station’s footprint while maximizing the open, flexible urban space to accommodate a range of future uses, including bike lanes and public urban space along the waterfront.

Inside the station, the vast rectangular hall is column-free, supported by the external concrete frames. Skylights mimicking the shed roofs found in the area’s former industrial buildings allow natural light to flood the station during the day, while integrated luminaries give a pleasant light at night.

The scale of the brutalist concrete exterior is juxtaposed with polished detailing inside, adding practical materiality to the station: white hexagonal mosaic covers the stairs and lift towers. At the same time, corners have been rounded for a softer, more human-friendly finish.
