3. Prize | New Campus Mathematics and Computer Science University of Münster

Münster

In collaboration with Atelier30

The urban design concept places the new building with setbacks along Einsteinstrasse, defining the main access into the building and the access to campus. A central campus plaza is created with zoned green spaces and pathways that create attractive open spaces and logical diagonal crossings.

There is street-side planting of field maple and green islands with shade plantings of climate-resistant bluebell trees and Japanese corded trees in groups with integrated benches. The plateau of the institute garden on the 3rd floor forms an accessible green open space with a high quality of stay. A pedestrian passage in connection with a greening of small trees, shrubs, hedges and grasses creates an additional spatial network of the seminar areas in this area, which are assigned to the individual institutes. Various seating options with awnings and planters invite people to linger and engage in scientific discussions. The sustainable concept includes a CO2 neutral building with climate relevant aspects. For the landscape architecture this means green facades and roofs, rainwater harvesting for irrigation of the planting areas, support of biodiversity and microclimate.
