The topic of the competition is the urban planning for the area of the future campus with the first expansion area, as well as the planning of buildings and outdoor facilities for the new construction of a research building for the Institute for Theoretical Medicine as well as for the construction of a new teaching building with dean’s office, Department of Medical Education (DeMEdA) and medical specialist library.

The proposed urban planning concept for the medical faculty of the University of Augsburg provides a clear framework for the gradual development of the site in three parts. An overall concept offers orientation and defines a model for future urban planning. The clear orthogonal structure of the urban planning system is easy to read. The teaching building and the research building are the first part of the campus. These buildings are highlighted by their structural design and their positioning.

The design concept is based on the idea of a horizontally and vertically closely interwoven learning and research landscape in which the exchange and communication of the various user groups are consistently promoted. The open-plan ground floor enables a flowing transition between indoor and outdoor space and a seamless horizontal continuation of the campus inside the building.
