Marking a new starting point for Freiburg’s historical core, the 250 square meter Pavillon on Europaplatz features a freestanding, curving green roof canopy that houses a bus stop, tram station, and restaurant.
Known for curving forms, the design by J Mayer H unites two formerly disjoined public transport stations with a shared amenity by generating a communicative place and meeting point that combines the needs of public transportation and urban experience.
The intervention forms part of a general redevelopment of the ring around the old city of Freiburg that strives to develop new public spaces while increasing urban mobility and enhancing existing streetscapes.
