Energy Campus, DE-Dortmund
Adjacent to the Hansa coking plant in northern Dortmund, a forward-looking campus for research and development of energy forms and technologies is to be built. Seven different building lots are arranged along the perimeter and together form a harmonious composition of buildings.

A lush green environment in the form of a dense mixed forest provides shade, creates a pleasant climate around the buildings’ ground floors, and fosters biodiversity and a valuable habitat across the entire campus. Above the tree canopy, the facades and usable spaces of the buildings vary. For the time being, trees will be planted throughout the entire area. When a construction site is developed, the forested area will be cleared, and the wood will be reused in various ways, such as for firewood or lumber.
