Initiated and conceptually guided by Maak, the temporary structure features an open, multifunctional market hall on the ground floor and flexible living and working spaces on the first floor, designed specifically for students. The building promotes social interaction and a connection to nature, integrating sustainable materials and adaptable spatial concepts. Architecture firm Barkow Leibinger supported the students in the planning and realization, accompanying the implementation of the prototype through to its completion in autumn 2024.
