LVA Hauptgebäude

LVA Hauptgebäude is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand LVA Hauptgebäude rather than just read about it. In short: The LVA Hauptgebäude is a high-rise office building in the Friedrichstadt urban quarter of Düsseldorf, Germany. Built between 1972 and 1976, the tower stands at 123 m (404 ft) tall with 29 floors and is the current second tallest building in Düsseldorf.

Key takeaways

LVA Hauptgebäude belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect LVA Hauptgebäude to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of LVA Hauptgebäude from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The LVA Hauptgebäude is a high-rise office building in the Friedrichstadt urban quarter of Düsseldorf, Germany. Built between 1972 and 1976, the tower stands at 123 m (404 ft) tall with 29 floors and is the current second tallest building in Düsseldorf. It was also the tallest in the city between its completion and 2001 when it was surpassed by the Arag-Tower.

History

Architecture The building is located between Friedrichstraße, Adersstraße, Königsallee and Luisenstraße in the Düsseldorf district of Friedrichstadt. It is the headquarters of the German Pension Insurance Rhineland, which was formerly called the State Insurance Institute Rhine Province (LVA), which gave rise to the name. The LVA main building was built between 1972 and 1976. The architect was the Münster based architect Harald Deilmann (1920–2008). The building was opened in the summer of 1978. At an official height of 123 meters, the building was the tallest building in the city until the completion of the ARAG Tower. The 29 -story building consists of four towers. Tower 1 has a height of 78.43 m and houses 18 floors, Tower 2 is 94.66 m high and has 22 floors. The third tower has 28 floors and a height of 113.56 m. Tower 4 has the dimensions mentioned above because it is the tallest of all four towers.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with LVA Hauptgebäude

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what LVA Hauptgebäude claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to LVA Hauptgebäude before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about LVA Hauptgebäude ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of LVA Hauptgebäude

In research: LVA Hauptgebäude appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses LVA Hauptgebäude in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: LVA Hauptgebäude is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1976 establishments in West Germany, 20th-century architecture in Germany, Buildings and structures completed in 1976, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for LVA Hauptgebäude outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
