In its place, two architecturally sophisticated buildings for the forum and the office were built in the following years, southwest of the studio, according to plans by the architects commissioned by the foundation, led by Walter Rolfes.
The paths in the central part of the garden form the letters A and E standind for the names of Ada and Emil.
