Award ceremony for students from Mainz University of Applied Sciences.

The project, which exemplifies the possibilities and potentials of timber construction, was created in an interdisciplinary project in timber  design and construction in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Department Physical Chemistry of Polymers, Prof. Katharina Landfester), in which students of architecture and civil engineering took part under the supervision of Prof. Gero Quasten (Department of Architecture, Chair of Design and Energy-Optimized Construction) and Prof. Kay-Uwe Schober (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chair of Timber Engineering and Building Construction).

The task was to design a station for the Polymer Path, which imparts knowledge about the history, use and properties of polymers and also includes artistic objects. The project was funded by the Mainz University of Applied Sciences, the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and the Mainz Science Alliance and can be visited on the Polymer Path parallel to Koblenzer Straße in Mainz.
