More jobs for architects
The DAM Prize for Architecture has been awarded annually by the German Architecture Museum (DAM) since 2007. This year, the completely demountable student house on the grounds of the TU Braunschweig was awarded the prize. It was the result of an unusual and exemplary competition process, which was advertised and organized by the Faculty of Architecture among the academic staff. It was intended to create more workplaces for architecture students. Around 20 assistants took part, the work of Gustav Düsing and Max Hacke was selected by the jury and realized with the help of a local engineering firm. The two-storey, filigree structure made of white steel rods and glass is now open to up to 160 students from all faculties. Baumeister readers will be familiar with the building from our January issue on the topic of “circularity”; the steel construction component catalog was featured on the cover:
B1/24 on the topic of circularity
