Landscape concept 2026 - 2050
The orthogonal structure of the individual research clusters is connected by a landscaped open space. Based on the master plan, light tree groves outline the future urban development of the research clusters in the landscape. Spatial density and cluster formation are thus created at the beginning of the further development of the Research Centre. As placeholders, the tree groves become green working and communication spaces under the open sky at an early stage. The masterplan therefore enjoys temporal flexibility in implementation without loss of spatial density. The development will create a car-free campus with short distances and direct connections, a relaxed recreation space between the working world.
Freedom and qualities
The Helmholtz Quantum Center+ develops out of the landscape and is connected to the boulevard by an open entrance square. Guiding walls create an inviting and identity-creating entrance and catch the embankments running up to the parapet. The entrance square becomes a central reference point and communication and activity space on the boulevard. The theme of the fruit trees from the master plan is taken up and forms together with a solitary group of trees on the forecourt a strong address with recognition value.
Ecological aspects and the consideration of climate change determine the design. Sealed surfaces are reduced, infiltration troughs and cisterns absorb surface and roof water for storage, use, evaporation and infiltration in the sense of a sponge landscape. Evaporation improves the microclimate of the working world, harnessed rainwater is used for irrigation. Extensive care and ecologically valuable wild meadows create a natural atmosphere. In addition to the tree groves, new groups of trees along the boulevard and light shade for work, rest and activity areas. Within the clusters, places of exchange and retreat with a high quality of stay emerge as green, connecting clasps. Modern seating furniture arranged individually and in groups allows different uses for those seeking peace or as a communication room for groups. Outdoor workplaces are made possible by wind, sun and weather protection. Technical infrastructure - 230 V / 12 V / USB/ WLAN - is provided nationwide.
Development
The development takes place as a further development of the subsequent inventory, supplemented by short and direct connections within the cluster. The obvious path structure creates a clear orientation and creates a clear and fearless outdoor space. All building entrances are worked out and are easy to find.
The entire cluster is exempt from motor vehicle traffic, with the exception of logistics areas and target traffic for persons with reduced mobility. Material differences in the surface separate footpaths and cycle paths and recreation areas from car traffic. The delivery and logistics areas are also generously laid out for maneuvering and turning, all traffic-related requirements such as rescue routes and fire brigade sites are taken into account. The entry and exit for delivery traffic is bundled at the south-western property boundary as a continuation of the incoming axis. There will be no further pedestrian or cycle path areas with car traffic, but the exit via the Helmholtz Ring is not planned but possible. Parking spaces for people with reduced mobility are arranged centrally and close to the entrance outside vibration-sensitive areas. Bicycle parking spaces are offered decentrally, in the area of access insufficient numbers. Covered parking spaces and e-bike charging stations complete the offer.
All areas are barrier-free. A robust design of the coverings and installations and a care-extensive, climate-adapted planting reduce the maintenance costs.
