  • Structuralism? Or Brutalism after all? The university building arose as the result of Netsch’s “network theory”. The ground plan seems to be the direct translation of a planning diagram. Inside, there are numerous different types of areas associating the project with many “structuralist” plans. It is considered highly confusing, however.
