Ready, set, go! New squares for Weilheim’s old town
The Brief
The town of Weilheim is redesigning its old town: four places, one shared urban space – Dr.-Johann-Bauer-Platz, Herzog-Albrecht-Platz, the access lane and Theaterplatz. The goal: more green, more shade, more togetherness. JAYS developed the entire communication for the public participation, making a complex planning project clear enough for everyone to have their say.
The Design
Under the motto “Ready, set, go!” – in German a play on “Plätze”, squares – we created the logo and identity “Albrecht & Bauer”. For the town’s website we built a map of the squares and their surroundings with infographics and explanations, on which residents could base their feedback. Add to that a brochure, flyers and posters, with illustrations showing who the new squares are for: every generation.
The Context
Together with Kübert Landschaftsarchitektur from Munich, JAYS accompanied the information day on 11 September 2026 on Marienplatz. Plans were presented, questions answered and ideas collected – on sticky notes, in conversation and online. For us as a Weilheim studio, a project right on our doorstep: how a town rethinks its centre together.
