The human at the center: in line with the educational guidelines of the city of Ulm, the design translates features of local vernacular architecture into a close-to-nature educational campus with a village character. Under the premise of a collaborative symbiosis of teachers and learners, the quarter brings together a broad range of spaces offered for individual and collective use—for privacy and exchange, for experimentation and development.

Style-defining architectural elements of the historic city center provide the programmatic basis of the design: The town hall of Ulm and the local market square find reflection in the units, as do developments along the local block perimeter with their green courtyards, familiar structures of terraced house structures as well as bridges and walls as are typical of the region. The green center of the campus is the functional equivalent of a lively village square and opens up the area with its collage of gently embedded buildings to the pulsating surroundings. Other organic relations with nature are created through outdoor spaces such as roof gardens, terraces, and open-air classrooms.

The structure of the buildings is informed by a clear grid with a square width of 5.6 meters. The modular timber system can be variably adapted to suit the respective educational purpose. The interlocking of several elements in particular creates recreational zones with a heterogeneous character. Movable partition walls and furniture allows flexible room boundaries and, in conjunction with square clusters nine times the size of the basic module, offer individual arrangement options in a joint design process. Like the typological articulation, the color concept is also informed by the old town of Ulm: pastel shades and a reduced choice of materials characterize the appearance of the campus, while the visible surfaces of the wooden modules formally connect interior to exterior spaces.

“It takes a whole village to raise a child.”
