Project Partner: Aizhan T.

Year: 2021

Revitalizing the historic Gerhart-Hauptmann-Platz, once known as Pferdemarkt and dating back to 1260, this project introduces a modern, multifunctional canopy installation. Intertwining nature with innovation, the design carefully embraces the ancient plane trees, integrating weather-protective EFTE cushions equipped with light and sound tech in a steel framework, while allowing space for the trees to flourish. This transformation not only offers protection against the elements but turns the plaza from a mere pass-through into a dynamic hub for various cultural, commercial events and gatherings, reigniting its potential as a central urban hotspot.
