WOODLAND CAMPUS Neuenhagen

Competition
Partner: TRU Architekten & Hoffmann-Leichter Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH

Together with the new architecture, the open space for this educational institution creates unity, in terms of both design and theme. A strong link between the open space and the architecture is generated via the use of wood around the campus, which has a nature-based design. An identity that is clear, yet at the same time sensory arises: the Woodland Campus. The primary goal is to generate open space with its own dense atmosphere, and space which, aside from accommodating various uses, also playfully combines experiencing the environment with ecosystem services, such as rainwater infiltration, evapotranspiration, and carbon sequestration.
