Europan 12 Bitterfeld-Wolfen

runner-up

Team point of view

The project is one of those requiring the conversion of abandoned spaces, rebuilding the city on the city. The two proposed sites become dynamic platforms, real levers through their strategic positions linking historical centre, bay and forest. By driving actions – which are legible markers – and by their connection to urban and touristic field, the two distinct programs offer a new way of living surrounded by nature within the city, applied in three sequences. In addition, new interactive and educational tourism products place sustainable development at the heart of the learning process. The urban project triggers different rhythms, playing on the variation between programme timescales. It therefore creates a unifying link between focal points so that a strong and readable global identity emerges.
