Quantum Gardens
The vision for the Quantum Gardens brings the development of the former IBM Campus to a larger urban context in connection with the city of Ehningen. The campus, which has been inaccessible to the public until now, will be transformed into an identifiable urban space in transition with nature, connecting new quantum computing facilities with the city center, sports centers, and the surrounding landscape. Clusters of working and living spaces that meet dynamic user needs will be created. Resource-saving strategies will be implemented through the re-use of existing structures, facades with solar panels, and by leveraging warm waste water from the adjacent research center as a heating source for living spaces.
