From the architect. A narrow and long-streched house situated between woods and the
campus of the technical college : this is the new cafeteria for about 1200 students and
lecturers. The cafeteria both adds to the building complex and serves as a new central
meeting - point for the students. The appearance of the building is dominated by larch and
glass. Slats in a row plus a roof form an elongated room with open gable-end facades.

A solid core to stabilize the building was put into the columnless hall. A wooden cover is put
over it. The closed wooden roof is supported by a multitude of arranged slats.

During daytime the appearance is modelled by varying light and shadow. This is a building
with a smootht structure integrating harmonically both the standards of the programme and
those of the local situation.
