Brief Description : Educational Landscape: Between Park and City
The local potential with its appealing topographic situation and the remarkable historic factory buildingd is used to develop the University Campus of Kassel into an educational landscape.
An environment is to be created which with foster the individual as well as the collective research, teaching and studying, where landscape elements such as plateaus, nishes, terraces and grassfields create differing space qualities in collaboration with spatial elements such as lanes, squares and stairs that operate as stimuli and offer open spaces.
For the individual uses, well-cut construction fields will be implemented. The architectural structures are spatially generous without breaking with the scale dimensions of the existing campus. Single buildings and new constructions gain the ranking of urban marks through their position in the overal concept and support the orientation.
