Karl-Marx-Street is one of the important district centres of the city. A competition is held to improve the streets’ use and spatial qualities with 2D graphics and 3D sculptures. SPAR*K examines the street for its urban characteristics and qualities. Existing qualities, such as the sequential highlights along the street are being enhanced, athmospheres strengthened due to spatial transformation and the attention is directed to certain area, with the large scale graphic and sculpture STARS & SCAPES:
The large scale sculpture STARS & SCAPES changes with every angle and perspective, and offers diverse spatial perception. The sculpture is completed by a constant play of light, shadow and the dynamic 2D graphic.
The Karl-Marx-Street as an important and modern shopping street receives with these large scale graphics a unique selling point, and a promenade, with the 3D-sculpture visible from afar. The 2D Graphics are aesthetic element and easy-to-read guiding system at the same time. It points from one highlight to another in a radiant pattern and creates a momentum.
