Project description:

The urban plan aims at creating an independent structure for the area, thus facilitating a transition between the small scale of Bockenheim and the prominent buildings along the Senckenberganlage.

This clearly recognisable new structure will settle on the existing campus and create a large variety of different plot types. It does not, however, start from a tabula rasa, but will include the existing building and green structure to the largest possible extent.

The buildings will be embedded in a continuous public space which unites and characterizes the whole area. The result is a new city quarter with a clear identity, combining urban qualities with a campus-like character.
