2nd prize at the Campus Golzheim competition in Düsseldorf
We are very pleased to have won 2nd prize in the competition for the Golzheim Campus in Düsseldorf. In addition to an urban-open space planning reorganization of the campus, the competition area included the design of a building for the Düsseldorf Academy of Music as well as a sketchy proposal for the Düsseldorf district government.
In our design, developed together with asp Architekten and Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur, the central park serves as the green lung of the campus and an identity-creating open space that invites passers-by, students, workers, and residents to linger, move, and exchange ideas.
