DEPOT

IN STUTTGART

Robust industrial aesthetics: How much architectural and
urban-development potential can be found in the buil-
ding task of a depot is demonstrated by asp Architekten
in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. The civil-engineering office

forestry department. The core, however, is the depot.

T here is hustle and bustle. The utility vehicles of the municipal fleet
in Bad Cannstatt leave for their services. A variety of building mate-
rials are stored in the chutes, containers and on shelves in the yard. That

clear architectural structure. With rough concrete and untreated wooden

a “usable garden wall” that could enclose everything. Cem Arat, one of
the managing partners of asp Architekten, also talks about a flexible
“shelf unit” in which there is room for covered, open and closed storage
areas and garages. The base of local recycling concrete follows the topo-
graphy and, towards the street, produces a long, two-level bulwark

which makes the noise acoustically and visually bounce off. For the asp

project manager Thomas Herold, a major challenge was to reduce the

many uses aesthetically and functionally to one denominator during ac-
tive operation. On the first upper level, into the homogenous envelope
of concrete and wooden slats, the canteen, kitchen, storage, showers,
changing rooms and a dry room are integrated as well as a technology
