Townhall Scharnhauser Park: Architecture
German building by J. MAYER H. Architects
Townhall Scharnhauser Park - Mixed used Civic Center, Ostfildern, Germany
stadt.haus
stadt.haus is located at the center of Scharnhauser Park, a former
America military site next to Stuttgart airport. It is a multifunctional
public building unifying municipal administration, civil services,
a public library, an art gallery, classrooms for music lessons and
evening school, a wedding room, office space, sports facilities and
a multippurpouse hall. This combination of different public services
generates synergetic effects provoking programmatic and visual transparency.
Spatially the entire building is considered as large, open public
space with inlays of certain core elements. Floating within a space
for mutual or strategic communication, these enclosed boxes structure
the interior layout of the building. From the main square to the panorama
deck on the roof, the stadt.haus interlocks with its context through
cutouts and terraces. These open air spaces remain accessible beyond
the main opening hours and therefore serve as spatial and programmatic
extensions. Light and water animations are an integral part of the
stadt.haus and include a subtle relationship between nature and technology.
Framing the main entrance visitors will have to walk through a computer
animated artificial rain dripping from underneath the flat cantilevered
roof.The stadt.haus and square construct a new public building prototype
by offering simultaneity of city life in real, mediated and virtual
space.

Pitter.Patterns a computeranimated rain curtain
Framing the main entrance visitors will have to walk through a computer
animated artificial rain dripping from the underneath the flat cantilevered
roof. This water curtain facade becomes a secret information producer
treating the entry elevation as ephemeral skin.
Wind.Light
wind.light is a light installation next to the stadt.haus. Hanging
glass fibre
cables project points of light onto the ground, animated by the movement
of
the wind. Built-in webcams collect all light points with a surveillance
software
and send a life image of its dynamic constellation into the stadt.haus
and onto
the website of the City of Ostfildern.
