# Jagged Office Buildings The Jansen Campus by Davide Macullo Architects Has a Dark Regality By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jansen-campus References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2012/06/13/jansen-campus-by-davide-macullo-architects/) & [macullo](http://www.macullo.com/) The triangular shapes making up the [Jansen Campus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pano-jezd-summer-house) gives the building a jagged exterior, which is ultimately bold and imposing. Like a [futuristic fortress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone), it looms up towards the skies with a dark regality. Despite its bold design and strong silhouette, there is an openness about this structure that would not be present in an actual fortress. The [large windows, white borders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jomoo) and negative spaces give the Jansen Campus an almost quirky presence. The Jansen Campus was designed by Davide Macullo Architects. Located by Oberriet, Switzerland, the building is described as "the link between the industrial area and the old town and takes its triangular forms from the traditional pitched roofs of Oberriet," according to the designers. It also offers a creative and engaging environment for employees. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Jagged Architecture:** An opportunity for architects to push design boundaries and create bold and imposing structures. - **Open Industrial Spaces:** An opportunity for businesses to create engaging work environments for employees that balance industrial aesthetics with openness and natural light. - **Industrial-traditional Fusion:** An opportunity for designers to incorporate traditional architectural elements with modern industrial design for a unique and striking look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects can utilize the trend of jagged architecture to create bold and imposing structures that challenge traditional design principles. - **Workplace Design:** Businesses can incorporate the trend of open industrial spaces to create engaging work environments that promote productivity and creativity. - **Interior Design:** Designers can embrace the trend of industrial-traditional fusion to create unique and striking design schemes that blend the best of both worlds. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Clad Jagged Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-architecture-and-design.md) - [Juxtaposing Angular Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brixen-public-library.md) - [Dynamic Military Archive Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pritzker-military-archives-center.md) - [Blocky High-Ride Laboratories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herzog-de-meuron1.md) - [Layered Office Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schieblocks.md) - [Glossy Panelled Pentagonal Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel.md) - [Angular Educational Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oarvemtta.md) - [Ancient Construction Campus Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faroe-islands.md) - [Modern Blue-Accented Academic Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-esther-pavilion.md)
