The main interest of our design in terms of city planning was to enhance the spacial qualities of street profiles that where destroyed by building activities during the GDR era. In this sense we closed the corner of Augustusplatz / Grimmaische Straße - thereby framing the new access to the Pauliner Hall. This entrance is designed as a recessed large glass plane with a printed image of the historic church drawing attention from inside and outside especially at night. Thereby the image and meaning of the Pauliner Hall will be replaced to the context of the Augustusplatz.

In the Universitätsstraße the street profile is beeing redesigned again by increasing the building´s depth. Apart from that, the whole ensemble aims to develop the pattern of passages further prevailing in the city center of Leipzig. The new hall will dominate the newly generated university yard.
