Competition with ideas part for the Kepler-Area Ludwigsburg
71636 Ludwigsburg
Single-phase, non-open realization competition with ideas part, with preceding, internationally announced qualified application and selection procedure with 20 participants. The procedure is anonymous, the competition language is German.
For decades, the Kepler Area in Ludwigsburg is a gap in the city. As the last remaining fallow around the train station, the Kepler Area is to be reactivated. Citizens, pedestrians and travelers from the surrounding, from the train and from the car have been looking at this empty space in the city until now!
In connection with the transformation of the entire station district, the area offers an important potential area for inner-city upgrading.
The Pflugfelder business group would like to realize its new company headquarters on the Kepler Area and integrate it into a newly developed neighbourhoud.
The goal is the realization of a lively, mixed-use neighbourhood (orientation value approx. 18,000 sqm GFA), which closes the urban gap between the city center – train station – and the western part of the city.
Due to its central and exposed location on the railroad line, the Kepler Area has been identified as a site suitable for high-rise buildings – the construction of a building high point thus offers opportunities for a representative company location, which must also do justice to its significance for the area and the cityscape.
The Kepler Area is part of the Ludwigsburg station district as a project in the IBA’27 network.
In order to find an urban development concept appropriate to the central location, the urbanistic and architectural building volume and function distribution, the development as well as the open space quality assurance, the Pflugfelder business group together with the City of Ludwigsburg announce a planning competition according to RPW. The competition is registered at the Chamber of Architects under the number 2023-1-21.
