2nd prize in Siegen

Our proposal for the transformation of a former print house into a new home for the architecture faculty of the University of Siegen has been awarded 2nd prize in the collaborative competition.

The proposal for the transformation of the print house emphasizes resource conscious practices with a strong focus on de-carbonizing construction and circular solutions to reduce environmental impact. Our design focuses on the overall life cycle cost and aim to minimize the carbon balance trough a careful use of raw material recourses. Wood, prefabricated construction, recycled elements, and design for disassembly are key elements.

The approach was formed from a circular mindset, using a much of the existing structure as possible, adding left over resources to a material bank that can be used in landscape, structure, and interior.
