Work as a group to design a new MUDEC student center on the grounds of the old Abbey in Differdange
Abstract
Differdange has such a rich history it’s hard to ignore, but with saying that, the city is also booming like crazy. To bridge this gap we came up with a design. From the developing areas in the North to the old Abbey we wanted to create a design that respected both areas. From there we took regulating lines from the major axis of places of interest, created a unique shape for our building design, and covered it with an abstract sculptural piece to symbolize the new foundations now being built upon the grounds of the old. We then wanted our building to be a place for all people and therefore incorporated many places of social interaction, gathering, and connections to the outdoors.
