Campus der TH Wildau in Germany by SEHW Architecture

The Campus of the technical university is located on the premises of a former railway engine plant. In line with a large building project and competition in 2006, SEHW Architecture has carried out the campus extension.

The competition comprised the urban planning and implementation of a functional building, a lecture hall centre and student hostel for 200 students.

The idea of the design is based on a detailed analysis of the location – its landscape and the built environment, which embodies the transition from an industrial society to a service-based society. The central design elements are contrasts and their interaction: clearly defined functions (living and teaching) and new wide and narrow circulation axes, creating new plazas and individual areas, shortcuts and views and from the transition from the urbanity of the campus to the more intimate student housing.

Both buildings are related in their building typology, but the student hostel is designed with green balades ofgrass and much glass and the functional building impresses in its optics of oversized punched cards. The lecture hall center has been integrated in a listed industrial hall (hall 17). The historic character of the hall has been maintained and the auditorium and further fittings have been designed as “building within a building”, presented to the outside by a spacious vestibule.
