项目的重点是将车站广场的左右两部分重建为一个统一的开放空间。该设计通过一个占主导地位大椭圆形覆盖整个广场，这样可以轻松整合左右两边的广场。强大而简单的椭圆的几何性质是统一广场的完美选择。椭圆的方向性也有助于行人直接从火车站到达市中心。

由黑色玄武岩覆盖的其余广场区域反而凸显了略弯的椭圆表面（它是现场浇筑的，并由2.50 x 5.00米的网格构成）。这种简洁的广场设计方式清除了以前场地的杂乱，解决了高交通流量产生的问题，使广场成为城市公共生活的中心。设计在椭圆的重点区域放置了两个14米高的高亮灯柱。高亮灯柱有助于方位辨别，特别是在晚上，它们能在大型椭圆广场上照射出两个大光圈。

覆盖在椭圆上的区别于广场铺装的“石头地毯”路引导游客从火车站的主入口到达市中心。晚上的时候，这条路会被其边上的条状灯带照亮。休息区位于北广场附近的半圆形，靠近主入口和喷泉。混凝土集成长椅上在北广场尽端，位于一排树前和两个楔形的公交车站旁边，与广场侧面相接，它被作为到达城市的通道。

From the architect. Public open spaces are the living areas of cities. If the marketplace is the “livingroom”, the station square is the “Entrée”.

A neatly arranged urban space was designed at the station square in Aachen to serve as an attractive entrance to the city. The new station square represents the image of the city and the railway and is now an iconic part of the Aachen.In the 19th century an elongated open square was built forming the link from the main station to the bordering streets such as the former boulevard Theaterstraße. The square contained an equestrian monument and water basin in front, and a horseshoe-shaped road around the edge for traffic.

The main focus of the project was to rebuild the station square as a unified open space by bringing the two halves of the square back together. This was achieved using a large dominant elliptical shape covering the whole square. The ability to easily integrate, and the strong yet simple geometric nature of an ellipse made it the perfect choice for reuniting the square. The orientation of the ellipse also helps to direct pedestrians from the station to the inner-city.

The light, slightly curved elliptical surface (cast-in-place suitcase, joint grid 2.50 x 5.00 m) is highlighted by the dark basalt slab used to cover the remaining areas of the square. The bare design of the square removed clutter and untangled the traffic flow creating an event area to serve as the heart of public life in the city. The incision of the busy street – which couldn’t be lowered because of financial aspects – trough the square is balanced by two 14m high light-poles at the focal points of the ellipse. The light-poles contribute to the spatial orientation, especially in the evening when the whole ellipse is lit by two large circles of light.

A stone-carpet path is overlain on the ellipse to guide travelers from the main entrance of the train station to Bahnhofstraße and the inner-city. In the evening the path is framed by a light-track. Rest areas are in the northern square semi circle and near the main entrance and the water fountains. A concrete arch with an integrated bench is located at the north end of the square in front of a line of trees and two wedge-shaped bus stops flank the square as gateways to the city. Also a new line of trees was planted on southern Lagerhaustraße to support the optical reduction of the opening at the Zollamt.

Key points in the design were the improvement of the accessibility to the station for local and long distance traffic and the removal of traffic on the square. The Alleenring has two lanes in each direction. The delivery and priority vehicle driveway can be reached by Zollernstraße. On the northern square is the residential and delivery driveway forcing both busstops to be shifted onto the stone-carpet.
