Together with Pennsylvania State University, we have redesigned three church yards in Cologne’s city centre at the invitation of the Diocese of Cologne. The aim was to create lively meeting places that generate more benefit for people and the urban space. The designs were developed in international teams and then turned into models by the Nürtingen students.

The city of Karlsruhe is home to many innovative companies, particularly in the IT sector. In order to provide high-tech companies with a high-quality environment, the city of Karlsruhe has developed a technology park in the Rintheim district. The aim is to offer the companies an address with a flagship character and the employees an attractive working environment. In order to further develop the technology park as a green, sustainable district, the open spaces are to be radically rethought. The aim is to develop a unique address for the technology park that reflects the innovative strength and sense of responsibility for the environment of the companies based there.

The town of Miltenberg is located in north-western Bavaria on the River Main near the Hessian border at the interface between the Odenwald and Spessart.
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to redesign a central section of Miltenberg’s riverbank in a prototypical and image-building manner, to identify the potential of the area for tourism, culture and local recreation and to connect the sub-areas in a new quality. Problems such as flooding, climate adaptation,
Main river experience, high utilization pressure, seasonal business, connection of riverside areas to each other and to the old town, are challenges that must be solved in form and detail.

The interdisciplinary master’s program City Landscape Transformation went to the Netherlands for a week to examine best practice projects in the fields of landscape architecture, urban planning and landscape design. In the process, the contrasting planning approaches of the cities of Amsterdam and Roterdam offered interesting added value.
