“Monbach Valley” to the Centre

BOARD reached, together with AX5 and LOOP, the final phase of the “Mill Area” competition in Bad Liebenzell, a city close to Stuttgart, Germany.

Their entry “A River Runs Through It” proposed to use the so-called “Monbach Valley” north of the city as a model and inspiration. This brings a popular landscape from the surrounding area to the centre of the city and makes the “Lengenbach” creek of the site tangible in a variety of ways. In the southeast there should be a stone bridge with which the Lengenbach can be crossed; further up stones and rocks on which people play and climb; even further up there are areas for water treading and a small waterfall; there will also be a climbing wall in the northeastern part of the creek. Additionally there will be an option for hiking along the Lengenbach.
