Bench and artwork "platz - vorbehalten" by Matthias Lingelbach (Idee und Form, Department of Architecture, Urban and Landscape Planning, University of Kassel)
"Nature as a participant! The concept "platz - vorbehalten" focuses on nature. On the hiking trails of the ARS NATURA Foundation, people are surrounded by forests, meadows, and other natural wonders. The concept, in the form of artfully designed seating elements, is intended to invite visitors to relax, linger, and explore. At the same time, it is intended to stimulate reflection. In this concept, it is not people who reserve and claim the necessary space; rather, nature reclaims its place. The benches function as a place of encounter and for the formation of a future symbiosis between humans and nature. Understanding nature as a "seating partner" means appreciating and protecting it more in everyday life. These seating elements are not tied to any specific location on the trail and can be arranged individually or as a group" (M. Lingelbach). The design was developed as part of the student competition "Idea and Form" at the ASL Department of the University of Kassel. The seminar is led by architects Igor Vrána and Janosch Nowak. The designs incorporate the concept of the ARS NATURA Foundation as well as the structural requirements of the "Design and Building Construction" department.
