Our vision:<\/strong> A inviting and inspiring space that integrates the city's unique identity and fresh impulses, right at the heart of Stuttgart. A haven for Stuttgart residents and travellers alike. A flagship for healthy, innovative and sustainable city life.<\/p>\nBackground:<\/strong> In our contribution, we address two major challenges that we currently face as a society: 1. to maintain physical and mental health of a growing population, 2. to maintain environmental health within the planetary boundaries. The past years show that human health is onlny possible in an intact natural environment (\u201cOne Health Approach\u201d, WHO).<\/p>\nWe transfer this concept to the built environment. \"Building One Health\" implies process and result: tailored to the needs of humans and nature. To that aim, we integrate principles of human-scale, psychosocial support and sustainable construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n- Healthy planet<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Sustainable construction (e.g. rain retention through storage, rainwater harvesting, recycled concrete, CO2-reduced cement, locally sourced wood)2<\/span><\/span>-reduzierter Zement, lokal gewonnenes Holz)<\/li>\n
- Energy generation (e.g. photovoltaic system)<\/li>\n
- Plants (e.g. roof garden, drought-resistant plants, sedum instead of grass)<\/li>\n
- Animals (e.g. insect-friendly lighting, nesting aids for birds and insects, insect-friendly plants)<\/li>\n
- Circular economy (e.g. shelves for sharing books and other things, modular building principles)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Healthy society:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Caf\u00e9 with traditional Swabian cuisine and other organic goods at fair prices<\/li>\n
- Low-threshold opportunities for social interaction (e.g. intergenerational playground)<\/li>\n
- Health education services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Healthy individual: <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Consumption-free resting places<\/li>\n
- Opportunities for physical activity throughout the building and the roof garden<\/li>\n
- mindfulness based offerings for all senses (e.g. aromatic plants)<\/li>\n
- Strengthening identification and belonging (e.g. small exhibitions to showcase citizens' everyday objects with special meaning to them)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>The concept encompasses a built structure that blurs the line between inside and outside. It extends the adjacent park and builds a connection to the Europaquartier. It offers protection without shutting off from society and nature. Various activities, qualities of spaces and materials motivate to explore the structure. The geometry of the roof of the underground station continues into the building, which results in small hills.<\/p>\n<\/div>
