The task of the Master's thesis is the urban design for the Cultural Campus in Frankfurt am Main. On the site of the former Bockenheim Campus of the Goethe University, an urban quarter with affordable housing will be developed, where the cultural institutions of the new University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK) and Frankfurt LAB will naturally have their place.
The transformation of historic buildings, such as the Juridicum and the Dondorf Printing House, requires a differentiated design approach that takes into account both the specific Genius Loci (spirit of the place) and the ecological requirements, particularly regarding climate adaptation. The high density of this central location offers the opportunity to create a place with diverse atmospheres that satisfies the needs of both cultural creators and the residents of the quarter equally.
