As Stuttgart undergoes a transformative urban development, creating a new central train station underground opens up a unique opportunity to reimagine the urban landscape above. Our project, the “Urban Oasis and Cultural Hub”, is conceived as a multifunctional space that blends natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and modern innovation. Inspired by the light eyes concept from the new train station, our design aims to create a space that not only brings light to the underground but also spreads the ­essence of Stuttgart’s culture and creativity to the ­surface.

Amphitheater: A Center for Public Gatherings
An open-air amphitheater integrates with the natural landscape for concerts, theater performances, and public events, creating a dynamic space for residents and visitors.

Interactive Art Installations: A Dynamic Art Space
Interactive art installations featuring rotating exhibits by local and international artists encircle the amphitheater, engaging visitors and fostering community and cultural exchange.

Botanical Gardens: Serenity and Education
Botanical gardens with themed plant collections offer educational and recreational opportunities, promoting biodiversity and environmental awareness.

Water Features: Tranquility and Play
Water features add tranquility and playfulness. Interactive fountains provide play areas for ­children, while reflective pools offer spots for contemplation, enhancing the sensory ­experience.

Light Eyes and Pavilion Design: Spreading Stuttgart’s Culture
Inspired by the station’s light eyes, a pavilion made of wood features a grand light installation connecting three floors and culminating in an open cultural theater, spreading Stuttgart’s ­culture above ground.
