Südpark Basel
The Gundeldinger Quarter The “Südpark” is situated in the Gundeldinger Quarter opposite the main station on the other side of the tracks, as it were. The completion in 2003 of the overhead walkway spanning the railway station has given the neighborhood great impetus. The most densely populated in all of Switzerland, it has become a dynamic area of diverse uses, pulsating street life and thriving construction. The Südpark ensemble plays an important role in this process of renewal; it is a multi-functional project with challenging specifications and uses. The design for its expansion in 2002 was a simple perimeter block; it has now developed into a hybrid complex with an underground computer center, large-scale retail stores and a seniors’ residence housed in a 10-story highrise. Güterstrasse Güterstrasse is the lifeline of the Gundeldinger Quarter. The buildings that line the street and represent a diversity of styles and ages, are all integrated into the regular block pattern of the neighborhood. The Südpark also conforms to this convergent, right angle order of unbroken façades facing the street with private inner courtyards behind them.
