University Muesmatt Bern

On the Muesmatt campus, archi­tecturally high-quality buildings are combined to form a large, well-functioning organism. It has, however, recently become apparent that the existing buildings can no longer meet the changed requirements of contemporary university operations. A new heart should help the complex to an unhindered future; a central core at which the available forces of the campus can come together, find support and mutually recharge each other. 

Urban planning schemes
Phases 1 + 2
Public centre on the ground floor
Axes
Landscape spaces

The placement of the elongated building in the centre of the provided space generates a profitable solution for all sides. A wide esplanade will be developped to the north of the building. As a counter­part, a recessed framed garden is to be created to the south. Along the Freie­strasse, three volumes separated by narrow passages are planned as replacement buildings.
