At the edge of town

2021
Team point of view
“At the edge of town” proposes to create a new welcoming and diverse district in connection to the coming new infrastructure. A vibrant square at the core connects the new transportation hub at the district centre to a wide variety of functions and values, new and existing. While analysing where to create porous connections to unite and where to use barriers to intensify desirable values already within or mitigate the effects of less desirable features. The proposal sets the groundwork for a new inclusive part of town that is not only adaptable to trends, but encouraging residents to come together and create new ones.

Jury Point of View
The proposal develops a dense new district based on the new station. It clearly describes the potential that exists in the new station location on the slope down to Möckeln and how, as a train passenger, you meet the city from the east across the lake with a park by the water. The city structure is consistently built up of semi-open blocks that are laid next to each other. It creates a clarity with access from the street and protected yards in a classic way. In these blocks, house bodies with different heights are then placed, which makes the plan flexible and possible to adapt to the wishes of the municipality.
