Details
Aufgetankt combines seating and planters with a large water reservoir, bringing more greenery to the city. A solar-powered irrigation system continuously waters the plants, keeping them healthy and reducing maintenance. Containers made from 100% recycled plastic are paired with seats crafted from local larch wood, creating a variety of modular combinations that transform streets and squares into lively, green gathering spots in no time.
The Jury‘s Statement
Urban greenery, reimagined: with Aufgetankt, grey asphalt surfaces are transformed into customisable green spaces. The street furniture system, in a cheerful mint colour, combines flexible seating arrangements with integrated planters in a system that is modular, mobile, and surprisingly low-maintenance. Self-sufficient water reservoirs holding up to 220 l and intelligent solar-powered irrigation eliminate the need for complex infrastructure. The freestanding modules can be reconfigured time and again without any structural work: in squares, at events, on terraces, or in shopping centres. Urban greening that adapts—and can be shaped to suit the relevant needs.
