The new citizen's centre, combining a community building, cultural centre, restaurants, a festival theatre and apartments, makes the networked quality of the urban planning clear and thus gives the public space the weight it needs. Barriers are dissolved, spatially clear situations are created and higher-level vistas are made possible. Enclosed in horizontal bands, variously structured mesh-like friezes shape the community centre'S visual appearance, with various facade structures corresponding to the building's specific uses.
