The architectural project "16 Stations," realized as part of the 2019 Remstal Garden Show, makes the idea of community and diversity along the Remstal valley visible in a truly unique way. White House In the dissolving form of the building, architecture and nature merge to create a place where people and history converge. Waiblingen's city center is characterized by historic half-timbered houses and a picturesque old town. On the nearby banks of the Rems River, at the northern tip of Swan Island, the White House station by J. Mayer H. and Partner from Berlin was created for the 2019 Remstal Garden Show. The walk-in building sculpture engages in a dialogue with the surrounding buildings and the green banks of the Rems. The large opening frames the surroundings and creates a direct visual connection to the cultural promenade along the Rems, which includes the Stihl Gallery Waiblingen, the Lower Remstal Art School, and the House of City History.
