Europaplatz Graz

Europaplatz in front of Graz Main Railway Station is going to be redesigned. Viennese architectural firm Zechner & Zechner plans to move the tram stop underground and redesign the free space above ground. Planned transport facilities are combined with a lined, quasi pin-striped urban landscape, while polygonal plant plots and an undulating lawn topography will not only enhance the place, but create additional possibilities of use.
