Get matched →This is a two-phase art competition with an EU-wide open application process for art in public spaces at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY in Hamburg. The goal is to utilize the spatial potential to integrate artistic interventions that reflect the characteristics and themes of the buildings and their surroundings on campus. Innovative and future-oriented concepts are explicitly desired.
DESY is a world-leading research institution in particle acceleration. Four new buildings are currently under construction on the DESY campus in Hamburg Bahrenfeld and the adjacent Innovation Park, serving as visitor centers and an expansion of the research infrastructure. These buildings are significant landmarks and showcases for the area. The DESY campus is central to the Campus West in Hamburg and a key component of the newly designed Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld. The framework plan emphasizes linking public spaces and opening them to the district, developing a sustainable and climate-friendly campus, clear urban restructuring, and promoting innovation through good conditions for research and exchange. The framework plan for Campus West outlines long-term urban and open space planning, including overall spatial qualities, design principles, and designation of potential areas for future research buildings. Short-term projects and other changes can be seamlessly integrated to further strengthen the Science City.
