Award in the „Deutscher Hochschulbaupreis 2024“ for the Texoversum

The German University Building Prize is awarded by the German University Foundation under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Building and is presented every two years. The Texoversum received one of two distinctions for the year 2024. The jury rated the holistic and consistent approach to the topic of textiles in all aspects of the project as outstanding. The experimental approach in the façade as an example of making the work in research and teaching visible is implemented here in an exemplary manner.
