the northern and southern station squares form a dual system with complementary functions and atmospheres. while the northern square is framed by historic buildings and backed by the green outdoor spaces of the city garden, the contemporary southern square has only two constructed edges and calls for a multifunctional green rest area. the southern gate of the station offers a challenging urban environment. it is an identity carrier for the new neighborhood, the junction point of different traffic flows and a strategic site for the city climate, where heat accumulation, wind mitigation and water drainage need to be solved adequately.
