The new Universitätsplatz will be a place to „take-a-place“. Therefore it should visually fit to the existing building and invite people to stay.
In the middle of the square a shady „green island“ is used for seating. Various trees exude a pleasant aroma, create friendly atmosphere and are also a privacy screen toward the Snack Bar.
Depending on the season, the plants lend the place a particular mood: fragrant blossoms during spring, sun protection in the summer, magnificent colors in the fall and unrestricted view in winter.
At night two mast lights with LED technology illuminate the place and a some lights under the „green island“ let it appear floating.
The uniform paving of the square let the place be fully accessible and because the tables and chairs of the Unibar remain mobile, the outdoor bar area can be designed as desired and expanded on the square. At the same time vandalism is meaningless for the furniture.
The square becomes a meeting place for students, visitors and residents of the city - a place to stay.
