Although many young architects in Germany have offices in Berlin, the most exciting newbuilds tend to be elsewhere - Braunschweig, for example. The city is home to a population of 250,000 people, as well as a renowned and respected university. Via a competition in 2015, the Technical University of Braunschweig (TU Braunschweig) commissioned young Berlin-based architects Gustav Diising and Max Hacke to design and build an innovative 'study pavilion'. This pavilion is not your typical library or educational building, however, with heavy walls and small booths for individual study time. Instead, it responds to the needs of the university's architecture students and overall student body. The discipline of architecture has frequent need for large spaces to accommodate big groups of students working together on models. Consequently Diising and Hacke developed an open structure of steel and glass which expands outdoors, creating a system of platforms and islands.
