A glazed circular landmark by Kleinmuller Architects, defined by transparency, clean geometry and flexible spatial planning. The Forum Geesseknäppchen is one of the defining public buildings within Luxembourg’s major educational campus. Designed by Kleinmuller Architects, the circular, fully glazed structure reflects an contemporary architectural vision focused on transparency, openness and communication.
Since its inauguration in 2005, the Forum has served as a vibrant cultural and institutional centre, hosting conferences, concerts, debates and exhibitions.
The element geometry being a continuous ring helps to ensure that there is a democratic spatial organisation without front or back, reinforcing the building’s mission as a shared place for exchange.
Inside, the multi-purpose hall offers complete flexibility, making the Forum adaptable to a wide variety of programs.
Natural light plays a fundamental role: the continuous glazed façade blurs the boundary between interior activity and the surrounding landscape, creating a luminous atmosphere and a strong sense of spatial clarity.
Materials have been selected for durability and elegance, supporting both intense daily use and the building’s symbolic civic function.
Architecturally, the Forum Geesseknäppchen is an example of clear and contemporary public design.
It expresses the ambition of creating spaces that encourage dialogue, participation and creativity within a bustling educational setting.
Nearly two decades after its completion, the building remains an architectural reference, showcasing a demonstration of how simplicity, precision and light can generate an open, generous and culturally active environment for the community.
Combining modern aesthetics with functional clarity, the Forum Geesseknäppchen stands as an architectural landmark in Luxembourg, a vibrant hub of student life where the built environment supports exchange, creativity and cultural expression.
