The principle inspiration for the project is the meeting of the collective
and the individual, a characteristic inherent to the dormitory building
type.
The simple circular form of the Tietgen Dormitory is an urban response
to the context, providing a bold architectural statement in the newly
planned area. The building's circular form - symbol of equality and
the communal - is contrasted by projecting volumes expressing the
individual residences.
The upper levels are organized with 360 residence units along the
perimeter and the communal functions are oriented toward the inner
courtyard. Facilities common to the entire dormitory are grouped at
ground level.

The apartments are set at differing depths in an alternating rhythm,
which expresses the individual's unique identity through its form
and gives the exterior form of the building it's characteristic, crystalline
expression and neutralizes the possibly monumental shape of the cylindrical
space.
The apartment groups' communal spaces are formed correspondingly.
They stand out as dramatically protruding building masses that face
the middle of the courtyard - the centre-point of the entire form.
The dormitory's facade of copper alloy panels is complemented by a
glass partition and sliding screen profile system of oiled american
oak. The building's interior is characterized by an exposed concrete
structure and plywood clad partitions. Poured magnesia flooring and
acoustic ceilings of expanded metal are used throughout the dormitory.
