Introduction: This project, titled "Network of Public Spaces of RWTH Campuses," aimed to address the spatial and social disconnection among various RWTH campuses. The primary objective was to create a network of public spaces within the university buildings, fostering interaction, interconnectivity, and improved accessibility for students and visitors. Our methodology involved in-depth observations, recordings, and documentation, culminating in a strategic plan to bridge the gap between campuses. This initiative serves as a model for potential interventions in other areas.
General Concept: The project introduced a network of University Public Spaces consisting of HUBS and CONNECTORS, strategically placed within a walking distance. Key objectives included:
Distributing space effectively for all users, including students, workers, and residents.
Creating flexible spaces adaptable for various uses and configurations.
Offering diverse activities to attract a wide range of users.
Conclusions: This initiative of interconnected public spaces has the potential to combat loneliness and foster a stronger sense of belonging. It represents a long-term public space strategy that can activate areas and elevate the overall quality of the surroundings. The first established route serves as a model for replication across the campus, ultimately creating a network of public spaces that extend throughout the city of Aachen.
Keywords: public spaces, transformation, accessibility, connectivity, proximity
