smz
The SMZ is conceived as an open pavilion. The cluster's main entrance lies on a small square, beneath the overhang of the SMZ. This is a spacious hall that flows into the daylit walkway between the two buildings. The SMZ holds lecture halls and a freely accessible exhibition space, positioned in clear view on the façade. Here, pieces from the institute's extensive collection of historical maps and remarkable stones are on show. Until now this collection sat across several locations; it gains a complete depot in the basement of the SMZ. The pavilion's green roof doubles as a place for measurements and other research.
