Masterplanning Saarland University

The concept structures future development and makes proposals for upgrading the university's outdated image.

The aim was to create an attractive contrast between a densely populated urban core area and the campus, with its predominantly modern institute buildings, nestled in an open, dynamic park landscape. The boundaries to the surrounding urban forest were redefined and clearly marked. The original, pleasant impression of the “university in the clearing” was restored.
