FRANKFURT SCHOOL OF FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Frankfurt, Germany | 1,8 ha | 2017
The Frankfurt School of Finance & Management thrives on human interaction and the exchange of ideas. A forecourt paved with natural stone, extending seamlessly into the building, defines outdoor learning spaces and an event area serving both the university and the neighboring residential districts. The educational philosophy of the institution and the architectural expression of the building are reinforced by the planting of red oak trees. These fast-growing deciduous trees provide generous shade with their distinctive, light-colored canopies. In combination with the existing street trees, the red oaks establish a distinctive and recognizable identity for the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management through their foliage and characteristic growth habit. The result is a versatile public realm that conveys the school's ethos and values.
