The proposal envisions an almost maximally large, but rather flat volume on the entire northern part of the parcel. As if through a fluid flowing from the center to the green belt bordering the plot, a specific building form results that creates diverse meeting spaces towards the street space and the campus. Favored by this form, a self-stiffening solid outer wall can be built, which gives the building the character of a whole, a main building. Systematically separated from the building form, the interior is conceived as a single large hall: a steel structure spanned by shed roofs and space-dividing lightweight systems are constructed independently. Thus, this hall is initially just a large, 8-meter-high space that can be divided in different ways, but also converted and reused at some point. Interior and exterior space are in an exciting relationship: a serviceable factory-like hall is surrounded by stage-like meeting places under trees. * In collaboration with Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge & Sohrab Zafari, Berlin
