School Campus Königswieser Straße

In the Forstenried district of Munich, a new school campus is being built on Königswieser Straße as a cohesive complex comprising a primary and secondary school, a childcare center, a triple-purpose sports hall and an underground car park. Rising above a shared ground floor, two separate school buildings form Munich’s first hybrid timber structure in German Building Class 5. Green facades are an integral part of the overall concept and lend the campus a vibrant, natural quality. CityArc is responsible for the specialist planning of the green facades, the irrigation planning and the planting design. For structural reasons, the planting is carried out using hydroponic planters arranged in a grid that complements the architecture, so as to highlight it through the greenery. This creates an identity-defining, code-like structure on the façade. Thanks to the wide range of potential benefits of green facades, such as heat protection and the promotion of biodiversity (→ read more), the building greening can also make an important contribution to climate adaptation and the ecological enhancement of the school and daycare center environments.
