Site Plan
Until the implementation of a permanent redesign after the LAGA Garden Show, a temporary installation was created to provide key functions for citizens, visitors and local businesses alike, all under the guiding theme “Traces of the Future”, which has been translated in spatial and visual form.
The concept proposed by LAND Germany and JSWD, “Chromatic Grounds,” turns the square into a vibrant experiential space that acts as a connecting element between the city, the forecourt, and the Garden Show. Wendersplatz is conceived as a welcoming prelude to the event, a “red carpet” made of color that leads visitors toward the exhibition while continually surprising them visually and drawing them into the space. Color fields and graphic markings on the ground precisely adopt the official color system and visual identity of the State Garden Show, creating orientation, identity, and atmosphere at the same time.
