Mensa Karlsruhe is an elastic space, that sits in the center of the Karlsruhe University Campus. As an extension of the already existing facilites, the city of Karlsruhe is building a canteen that will serve the growing number of students. The building becomes the new adress of the campus, negotiating between the identities of three universities as well as between the urban fabric and the Hardtwad forest. The building reacts to this special condition with different stages of porosity.

La “Mensa Karlsruhe” è uno spazio “elastico”, collocato al centro del Karlsruhe University Campus. È un ampliamento dei servizi già esistenti, nato per soddisfare le nuove esigenze organizaztive dettate dal crescente numero di studenti nella facoltà.
La struttura è stata pensata per costutuire il nuovo fulcro del campus, mediando tra le identità delle tre università presenti e tra il contesto urbano e la foresta di Hardtwald.
