Appreciation Student Award
In an era characterised by climate change, a shortage of skilled workers and a scarcity of raw materials, the master design ‘Forschungszentrum Zukunftsbau – Wie bauen wir die Zukunft?’
by Vincent Johannes Witt sees itself as a catalyst for a paradigm shift in architecture in favour of sustainable building technologies. As a large-scale research infrastructure on KIT’s West Campus, the design creates space for interdisciplinary collaboration, enables the development of new building technologies and positions KIT as a pioneer in sustainable building research. The research centre itself is an example of sustainable construction. The use of reused components, flexible and reconfigurable spatial structures and modular utilisation scenarios creates a process-oriented, multifunctional and public building. The work contributes significantly to the development of a sustainable building culture and illustrates how a sustainable future can be shaped through research and innovation in architecture. It was supervised by Prof Moritz Dörstelmann and Prof Dirk Hebel.
