Pavilion Einstein Pergola, Aarau

This pavilion on Aarau’s Einstein square is only one example for the many possibilities to provide additional green through steel rope structures by Jakob Rope Systems. Steel cables mounted between the steel girders serve as a support for climbing plants such as roses and wisterias. They create a pleasant, shadowy space in summer that provides a welcome green element in the otherwise impervious courtyard. In two to three years, the plants will have fully overgrown the pavilion and finish the transformation of the former uninviting backyard into an attractive piazza.

Greening improves urban areas: The project initiated by the Aargauer Neue Bank and the AZ Medienhaus AG demonstrates the many advantages of greening in the urban space. The square has gained attractiveness, not only through the aesthetic improvement, but also through the shadow provided by the plants, the increased biodiversity and a better microclimate.
