The central idea behind the design is an encircling, crossed over
and apparently never-ending band. Cast in concrete, it picks out the
tectonics of the buildings as a central theme. It is the constructed
transformation of a matrix, the translation into concrete form of
the idea to generate knowledge in rooms that are formed by overlays
and intersections.
The structural and organisational heart of the MobileLifeCampus is
at the centre. The campus has a glazed-over atrium that rises over
four floors and to which all paths lead. Open staircases permit direct
contact and communication with each other. Conscious linking of the
pathways underscores the openness of the campus. The seminar rooms
are freely grouped around the atrium and extend upwards, to varying
heights, into the centre.

November 19, 2003 saw the digging of the first turf for the initial
building phase of the Mobile Life Campus. The forward-looking project
merges the School of Economics and Business Administration,
School of Science and Technology and the School
of Humanities and Social Sciences, thus creating the base for
a new type of research campus. The master plan sees five main buildings
as well as a boarding house and a communication forum for the 15-ha
large area. The basic structure of the buildings is that of a folded
band in which - integrated into the folding structure the horizontal
storey levels are embedded. The diagonal campus road leads toward
the central agora and simultaneously serves the opening up.
The buildings structure is reflected in the façade, designed
as a solid tie in the interplay with closed and open surfaces. The
inside is marked by a glass-roofed atrium in which the design has
been rendered visible through open staircases. The atrium serves as
the main gathering point as well as a place for informal communication.
The buildings dimensions are: length 165 m, width 5 m,
height 23 m. A meadow with some 500 apple and cherry trees marks
the facilitys landscape.

MobileLifeCampus, Wolfsburg, Deutschland
Der Leitidee des Entwurfs für den MobileLifeCampus liegt ein
umgreifendes, gekreuztes und scheinbar unendliches Band zu Grunde,
stellvertretend für die interdisziplinäre Verbindung der
Fachbereiche der Elitehochschule. In Beton gegossen thematisiert es
die Tektonik des Gebäudes. Es ist die gebaute Transformation
einer Matrix, die Umsetzung der Idee, Wissen in Räumen zu generieren,
die durch Überlagerungen und Überschneidungen entstehen.
Im Inneren ist das bauliche und organisatorische Zentrum des MobileLifeCampus
das mit einem Glasdach überspannte Atrium, das sich über
vier Geschosse erstreckt und zu dem alle Wege führen. Offene
Treppen ermöglichen unmittelbare Kontaktaufnahme und Kommunikation.
Bewusste Vernetzungen der Wege unterstreichen die Offenheit. Die Seminarräume
sind in freier Anordnung um das Atrium gruppiert und ragen auf unterschiedlichen
Höhen in das Zentrum hinein.
