This structure is located on a [new college campus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-ppw) in Germany, to the north west of Osnabrück’s town centre and is a modern design lover's dream. The architecture piece embodies the essence of a [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bernardo-bader-architekten) and is reflective of its architect's clean vision. Amsterdam and Aachen based firm Benthem Crouwel Architects is known for their involvement in the redesign of a series of major Dutch railway stations as well as their continuing work on Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. "In order to create a strong connection between the forum and the more open spaces of the campus beyond, the building was opened from below." This auditorium building boasts an angular slope that creates a dramatic cantilever form, the building's most eye-catching element. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Architecture:** The use of simplistic and geometric designs in architecture opens doors for innovation, from material choices to construction techniques. - **Angled Structures:** The use of angular and irregular shapes in buildings challenges traditional construction techniques and creates unique design opportunities. - **Campus Design:** Campus design continues to embrace modern and innovative architecture, offering exciting opportunities for architects and designers to create inviting and stimulating environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** The construction industry has an opportunity to explore new materials and techniques to support the design and construction of non-traditional, geometric structures. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can take advantage of the minimalist aesthetic in such structures to create inviting and functional spaces that complement and enhance the unique architecture. - **Education:** The education industry can leverage innovative and modern campus designs that reflect the importance of aesthetics and provide students with a vibrant and stimulating environment to learn and grow. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Educational Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oarvemtta.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Structural Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agnes-speaker.md) - [Juxtaposing Angular Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brixen-public-library.md) - [Trio Cuboid Music Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edward-and-joyce-linde-music-building.md) - [Repurposed Imperfection-Embraced Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civic-architects-and-vdndp.md) - [Dual Level Concrete Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crow-museum-of-asian-art.md) - [Sculptural Photocoltaic Theater Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opera-and-ballet-theatre-of-kosovo.md) - [Arched Garden-Topped Cultural Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hengqin-culture-and-art-complex.md) - [Amsterdam-Honoring Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/un-studio.md)
