Streets and Squares in Illerberg-Thal, Vöhringen

The Vöhringen districts of Illerberg and Thal both have urban and open space deficiencies in their centres. The public space is currently just a traffic area without form or character. The starting point for the design of the two village squares are two different approaches, each derived from the existing situation. The ‘connecting stream’ and the ‘green topography’ are the leitmotifs for the design interventions at the two locations. The result is public spaces that are recognisable and offer quality of stay and are attractive for everyday use as well as for smaller events. A uniform paving connects the two districts via squares and footpaths. Traffic areas will be reduced to a minimum in order to create more space for the short, pedestrianised routes between the two districts.
