As one approaches Baden-Baden from the highway, one must look twice, discovering the world-renowned, elegant spa and festival city from a completely different perspective: beside a tree-lined expressway and a bridge-supported highway, one finds car dealerships, industrial businesses, former military housing, office buildings, vacant lots, and a residential former model house settlement, all accompanied by the course of the small Schwarzwald stream, Oos. The students, as part of their master's thesis, explored how a forward-thinking district could be developed at this location to serve as a new city entrance for Baden-Baden, one that innovatively and sustainably integrates commerce, housing, leisure, nature, and landscape.
