Aims of the GPR Trial Run in Stuttgart
The GPR trial run covered the following general aspects:
■ Examining the content of the program
■ Classification in existing framework conditions, i.e. initial comparison of
the required entries with German/Baden-Wuerttemberg regulations and
directives
■ Examining and evaluating how user-friendly the program is
Additional Stuttgart specific issues were considered:
■ Does the program offer new aspects hitherto not considered in local
planning?
■ Does GPR make a more comprehensive and clearer summary of all
planning requirements than the standard case used in Stuttgart?
■ Can GPR take on a role in Stuttgart? If so, which one?
Data Entry
Specific
Procedure Architects Lehen drei tested the use of GPR over two
for the days. In a preliminary meeting, administration and
Trial Run in planners established framework conditions similar to an
Stuttgart environmental profile and defined the documentation
that was necessary for the entries. The specifications,
valid final plans and the thermal insulation certificate for the building
application were used as sources of information for the entries.
Object
The planners selected a building in Tübingen as it fits well for a comparison
with the plans for the site of the freight depot at Bad Cannstatt.
The building ‘Haus am Platz’ was erected between August 2003 and September
2004 in the French Quarter in Tübingen. It is integrated in an almost complete
perimeter block development. A public square which forms the eastern end
of the Französische Allee is in front of the building on the west side. A
private inner courtyard surrounded by six buildings is located to the east.
The building consists of a six-storey main building and a four-storey
secondary building with a ground floor passage to the inner courtyard. It is
directly built onto the fire-wall of the neighbouring building in the south.
The building is freestanding on the north side. The neighbouring building is
staggered in relation so that a gap is created towards the inner courtyard.

The ‘Haus am Platz’ has seven flats with approximately 51 to 170m 2 living
space as well as two business units with 51 and 28m 2 on the ground floor.
The total effective area amounts to approximately 830m 2 .
Access to each flat is on each floor via the stairwell with a lift. Only on the
second floor are two flats located at the stairwell. The building has a cellar
and there is a shared underground car park beneath a part of it.
