For the art-for-architecture competition for a new building for the State Office of Health and Food Safety (Landesamt Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit) in Erlangen, a portfolio of references and the required outline of ideas for a planned concept were submitted. The concept operates with the safety anchor of the triangular warning symbol as a basic motif for three-dimensional objects. Under the title “Haltgeber” (Giver of Support), this concept can be applied optionally to all three locations for which competition entries are invited: the outside area, the space in the stairwell, and a large internal space. Thanks to this all-round applicability, the whole building is included, as well as all fields of research of the state office: health, food safety and product safety.
