The research building of the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences has been awarded a prize by the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects in the "Exemplary Building Mannheim 2013-2020" award procedure. 
The university's cooperative project with the John Deere company is researching three-dimensional projections of objects and environments. The play with perception, reality and illusion became the central theme of the design and is reflected in both the facades and the interior of the building.

The Landesverband (regional association) Baden-Württemberg of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA) has awarded this years Hugo-Häring-Auszeichnungen (Hugo-Häring-Prizes) for the region of Mannheim. Beyond this the prize marks the primary stage for the Hugo-Häring-Landespreis (state prize) of the BDA.  
The competence center for three-dimensional projections plays with perception by superimposing reflection, projection, and transparency to create a complex overall image.
