Campus Central, University of Stirling
This landmark re-development project consists of three elements:
• The refurbishment of the existing atrium, study area and retail concourse. • A three-storey extension creating a fully accessible entrance to the Andrew Miller Building complex and Macrobert Arts Centre. • The transformation of Queen’s Court from a bus terminus and roundabout into a fully pedestrianised courtyard garden.

AachenMünchener Headquarters
BRIEF Company representation, consideration of the existing building structure, urban integration. | ADDED VALUE The Company headquarters in the inner city usually form blind spots, unattractive to the public and desolate after office hours. Therefore, the design is not understood as an architectural but as an urban task with the aim of maximizing public space on the building lot.

The demand for maximum public use and communication dictates the internal organization of the building.
