Raumberg 38 is an important agricultural college in Austria, located in one of the most beautiful valleys in Styria. Over time, its successful educational path has created the need for additional facilities. Unfortunately, these new buildings have created a heterogeneous campus. The historic building is now surrounded by extensions that do not appear to be connected. Our proposal takes this competition as an opportunity to improve this heterogeneous situation by creating a unified campus, both in terms of function and aesthetics. To this end, we have used the features of the original historic building. However, our aim is not to copy the features of the historic building, but to translate them into a contemporary form that focuses on a sustainable design that would lead the school into a new era. We believe that education is first and foremost a matter of cognitive interaction and not just a matter of academic knowledge.
