景观设计师设计了总部周围的主要户外空间，包括论坛广场，庭院以及Fabrikstrasse的街景。论坛广场的入场部分是经过一个历史悠久的城市广场，以纪念巴塞尔的历史。位于Fabrikstrasse以外的主要门口，它是一个简单而优雅的石头广场，集中在一个三十五只大型橡皮布的布斯克。历史上，巴塞尔前凯尔特人口的象征物种，橡树被用来定义公共和神圣的空间。原产于该地区，成熟的橡树被小心地放置在与建筑物相邻的模式中，延伸着周围建筑物的建筑栅格。这些树木在其周边统一了充满活力的建筑，并从夏季到秋天焕然一新。

The landscape architect designed the principal outdoor spaces surrounding the headquarters including the Forum square, the Courtyard, and the streetscape along Fabrikstrasse. The entry component of the Forum square is modeled after a historic town square to honor Basel’s history. Located just beyond the main gate off Fabrikstrasse, it is a simple, elegantly proportioned stone plaza centered on a bosque of thirty-five grandly scaled Pin oaks. Historically a symbolic species to Basel’s former Celtic population, Pin oaks were used to define communal and sacred spaces. Native to the region, the mature oaks were carefully placed adjacent to the buildings in a pattern extending the architectural grid of the surrounding buildings. The trees unify the vibrant architecture at its perimeter, and brilliantly change colors from summer to fall.
