With its contemporary architecture and unobtrusive presence, the Alex-Center demonstrates how advantageously shopping centers can fit into city centers. The clear basic approach of the design is also reflected in the surface architecture with square SCADA panels in a cross-joint pattern. The light grey granite color is a further link to the modern glass and steel building - the heavy-duty paving was made with light granite grains and shot-peened precious aggregate. The block steps and seating blocks also feature this special processing quality.
