Cem Arat at the Tourism DayCem Arat beim Tourismustag
July 2025
What are the special (structural) features of the Haus des Tourismus and how can the principles of ‘New Work’ be seen and experienced there? Our Managing Director Cem Arat discussed these topics with Christine Schönhuber and Armin Dellnitz during a panel discussion at the Tourism Day organised by Tourismus Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg in the New Palace.
The Haus des Tourismus on Stuttgart’s market square will be completed in a few months and is already an outstanding example of building in existing structures. During the transformation of the former fashion store, almost the entire shell was retained, while the necessary extensions and the additional storey were realised in timber construction.
In future, the building will be home to both Stuttgart Marketing GmbH and Tourismus Marketing GmbH BW. The building is open to the public and, with its tourist information centre and catering concepts, marks a lively urban building block in the immediate vicinity of Stuttgart City Hall.

Architecture Day 2025
July 2025
How to fill vacancies and gaps? How to turn vacancies and gaps into potential? These questions were the focus of this year’s Architecture Day. We are delighted that we were able to open the doors to our projects twice as part of the day of action. Firstly to the Deckerstraße depot and then, almost exclusively, to the Haus des Tourismus, which will only open in a few weeks’ time.
Both projects are a good example of how the potential of existing structures can be utilised and sometimes even used for completely different purposes, as in the case of the Haus des Tourismus, which was once a fashion store in its former life.
Many thanks to all visitors for their interest and the exciting discussions!

Our colleague Nadine gave a presentation entitled ‘Sustainable building with AI – a contradiction?’ as part of the online talk series ‘Neues Bauen mit KI’ organised by db Deutsche Bauzeitung.
Nadine is Head of Strategic Communications at asp and in this role presented how we have integrated artificial intelligence into the design and planning process via our own asp AI hub. She also outlined our strategy for dealing with AI against the backdrop of comprehensive structural change. For example, how AI supports us with knowledge transfer and a sustainable data strategy.

Vector awarded DGNB Platinum and Diamond
April 2025
Hardly any other term is used more frequently in architectural discourse than sustainability. It is therefore all the more helpful if the actual sustainability of a project can be measured and thus made comparable.
In the case of our administration building B for Vector Informatik GmbH in Regensburg, we have now achieved this. The new building was awarded Platinum and Diamond by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for its outstanding architectural and sustainable quality.
The new building, which represents an important building block on the developing campus in Regensburg, has achieved an overall fulfilment rate of 90.7% of the criteria. We were even able to achieve 100% in the area of ecological quality and 97.6% in the area of socio-cultural and functional quality.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the project team once again for their great work!

Opening of the new Biberach outdoor pool
May 2025
Just in time for the start of the season, the outdoor pool in Biberach reopens its doors following the planning and implementation of the new replacement building. A modern and inviting pool area now awaits visitors of all ages.
The new outdoor pool offers two pools: an activity pool equipped with two water slides and a swimmer’s pool for those who want to swim their laps. Additional fun is provided by two exciting water slides that will delight both children and adults.
The wooden functional building, which was built using sustainable timber construction methods, blends harmoniously into its surroundings and uses environmentally friendly materials that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The pavilion combines all functions for visitors, clubs and staff under one roof.
Thanks to the whole team!
Here’s to an unforgettable summer full of relaxation, sport and fun!
