A place of exchange beyond the city limits.

Haus des Wissens

Placemaking, Bochum, 2026, Coming soon

The "Haus des Wissens" will be a place for all residents of the city. At the heart of the project are the resident public library, Bochum's adult education center and the city's university network Univercity, which, as a special "third place," will offer joint services for Bochum's citizens.
Kinzo was commissioned to design the publicly accessible areas – designed were event and teaching areas, exhibition areas, a library, open workshops, as well as the office space for the administration.
The Haus des Wissens is funded by the federal program „Nationale Projekte des Städtebaus“ (National Projects of Urban Development).
