In the design "Die Blase", the focus lies on the interaction between the Rectorate and its adjacent public spaces – the university corridor and the Ressel Park.

Targeted interventions in the threshold areas dissolve the strict separations between the Rectorate and the public. This creates communication with and around a space that has, until now, remained hidden within the institutional framework of the Technical University.

Simultaneously, a new transparency emerges, questioning past leadership styles and representing an educational institution that thinks in innovative ways.
