With its timeless and clear pattern language, the design by Architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners impressed the jury. The ensemble comprising the indoor sports swimming pool and health center at Otto-Runki-Platz continues the block structure of Neustadtand, at the same time, makes a link to the neighboring parks.

Otto-Runki广场位于莱比锡市中心东部Neuschönfeld新区，本是街区的绿化区域。两座新建建筑将在北侧围合基地，直接与铁路大街相临，构成沿主要交通轴线延伸的空间边界。东南方向上，游泳池和医疗中心建筑群围合了一个绿色的景观空间，整合了地块上原有的树木。一条交通轴线贯穿两座建筑，一直延伸至绿化广场，并连接了不远处的城市公园。

Otto-Runki-Platz lies in the Neustadt-Neuschönfeld part of the city to the east of Leipzig's innercity and hitherto has served as a public park. To the north of the plot, the two building blocks have a direct border with Eisenbahnstrasse and thus form a spatial edge along the main traffic axis. To the southeast, the development of the swimming pool and health center creates a landscaped open space, which integrates some of the existing trees. The central planted circulation axis between the two buildings widens out to a landscaped plaza, which leads on to the Rabet public park.
