STUDENT CENTER KARLSRUHE UNIVERSITY
KARLSRUHE - first prize
Mensa Karlsruhe is an elastic space, that sits in the center of the Karlsruhe University Campus. As an extension of the already existing facilities, the city of Karlsruhe is building a canteen that will serve the growing number of students. The building becomes the new adress of the campus, negotiating between the identities of three universities as well as between the urban fabric and the Hardtwald forest. The building reacts to this secial condition with different stages of porosity.
