Located in the crossings of Am Fronhof and Theaterplatz, this site currently serves as an open space for the public to cross through to get to their destination. The main attraction is the large shopping department that holds a pharmacy, retail, grocery store and others. There are existing trees and a large bike rack in the center of the plaza. There is potential to improve the flow and movement of how people travel in that space. Not only is there a need to enhance the flow, there is also potential to slow people down and encourage them to stay in the plaza.

The design theme is inspired by the undulating movements of a snake. The curvature and linear movement encourage a more direct flow throughout the site. The curvature of the undulation also creates an interesting contrast to the flat groundplane. Incorporating this idea into seating creates a unique experience in comparison to standard plaza seating.

The emphasis of these curvatures transform seating into a playful, sculputrual element and adds a stronger identity to the plaza. These uncommon shapes and movements encourage people of all ages to explore and enjoy a space they would normally just walk through to get from point A to point B.
