0310SEK II Campus Polyfeld Muttenz
The new campus square is to be spanned by four buildings with different characters. The Gründenstrasse 46 building forms a further high point and creates a striking counterpart to the existing tower building.
Like all the other buildings, the western structure is oriented towards the square and is accessed via this. Generous canopies on the east façade emphasize the orientation and create a sheltered entrance situation. The addition and extension of the building clarifies and strengthens the cubature. The chosen type of building extension results in a small footprint and a striking, compact building volume.
The existing building will be extended by an axis of 8.40 m to the west and built over with an additional two storeys. These additional components are to be constructed in timber. Hollow box elements made of regional softwood are proposed as ceilings. A brick rubble fill recycled from building scrap provides the necessary mass. The vertical load transfer on the façade and the two additional storeys is provided by timber supports. In the transition to the existing structure, supports made from the existing and repurposed concrete façade elements are used, which are held together in bundles of four by two steel rings.
