The lotto-turm project has been my diploma theme. After graduating i kept working on this project. It made his way through several magazins and newspapers (mark magazin, bauwelt, daily press..) down to the town hall of stuttgart . Till today we are searching for a sponsor or an investor who is able to realize this extraordinary project. It is a playfull but at the same time seriously meant project.


IDEA
It is call for the missing of liveliness and dreaminess in our surroundings and in the design philosophy at present. We have had enough from  similiar and repeated objects. We try to appeal at the delightness, imagination and surprise that we carry from early age with us.

Summarized this project is the answer to the atmosphere and attitude of his surrounding buildings and their designers. The support, the good will and the enthusiam for the projects from different groups of people and institutions shows that it has hit a certain desire of our time. 
 


SITE
The “Österreichischer Platz“ is situated at the edge of Stuttgart’s city center. Its function has not changed a bit in the last 40 years, it is still surrounded by and isolated through highways, it is used as a parking spot. But now the rhythm of the surrounding highway will be interrupted by 55 piled-up sea containers.   


DESIGN
For a time frame of five to ten years a temporary tower should revaluate the district, should create an attrac­tive magnet and it should also be a place where different, lively and diverse forms of use will have a home for some time. As the project will only be temporary, it will be build out of shipping containers which will be a construction element as well as it will create new space. In addition, the containers allow a financially interesting and short-term realization of the project and you can also reuse and constrcut on the plaza very fast again.

The building will be divided into two parts. There will be a courtyard that will be isolated from traffic and noise and the high-rise tower which can be scaled by an artificial path around it as well as by stairs that go directly on top. The building is completely open to the public.
There will be many differently designed zones: the green duplex that will host a park, terraces of differ­ent sizes, niches and stairways and it will also be the home of various institutions like the capsule hotel, the Bürgerbüro (the local administration) to the lovtainer. With all these different options the lotto-tower as a whole will offer possibilities for all kind of needs
