Fresh Ideas proposes the MUC Student Forum as a magnet and a catalyst for the area. It is to be a new, central presentation forum for the different faculties of the different universities and institutes around the city, serving as an interface between the students and the universities and the public. The upper floors are used for other flexible purposes such as as apartments, student housing or offices. The new solitary volumes ensure that the open space, formerly the place where the old city wall stood, can still be perceived as a continuous open space. The buildings are aligned on the main axes of view and provide permeability, whilst becoming part of the green corridor through their plant-clad facades. The different faculties use the interior and exterior spaces in cycles. This results in a bustling, constantly changing location, that acts as a magnet for the surrounding areas.
