COMPETITION ENTRY
2014
"The project introduces a typological strategy, which suggests the deliberate distribution of a variety of urban types with an urban scale. These types are as much adaptable as they are suggesting a mix of uses, bringing a rather urban image and optimistic programmatic bandwidth to Amstetten."
"Parts of the images remind the jury of a corporate campus, raising the question if the project is too urban and too dense. On the other hand the combination of different typologies is interesting if one sees the proposal as an ambitious manual that triggers a dynamic discussion and process. Concerning the balance between demand and proposal, project site nr1 shows the most convincing proposal. The jury discusses the potential of the typological strategy: How open is OPEN?! Is the concept still strong if one reduces half of the density?"
