Project: Jacobs University Sports and Conference Center

Architect: Max Dudler Architekten

Location: Bremen, Germany

Function: The mixed-use sports facility and conference center form a dramatic new focal point for Jacbos University in suburban Bremen. The simple rectangular form encircled by brick-clad columns is strongly reminiscent of the Parthenon and the modernist projects of Mies van der Rohe, among others, that it influenced. Drawing from the simplicity of classical form, the basic structural logic allows maximum transparency for the conference and mixed-use spaces, as well as open expanses for athletics.  Read more about this project in the Architizer database.
