Text description provided by the architects. In the technology centre of Lünen, over a former coal mine factory, hovers a "UFO".  Designed in 1985 by Luigi Colani the “UFO” has become a well known Landmark to the area. The technology and foundation centre and the Academy of Applied Science have accommodated the redundant mining shaft building and “UFO” since 2001. In 2007 LÜNTEC GmbH, the owner and operator, initiated a competition to the refurbishment and extension of office space in this complex.
