EN POINTE

RA980

Das Projekt implantiert an diesem Nicht-Ort ein archetypisches Stadtmodell, dessen Syntax auf den Maßstab des Ortes hochskaliert wird. Dadurch entsteht eine urbane Figur, deren surreale Qualität gleichzeitig eine programmatische Entwicklung anregen könnte: die “Arches” bieten Raum für kollektive  Programme und Landschaften, gleichzeitig verbinden sie über die trennenden Infrastrukturen hinweg. Auf den Arches ruht die kollektive und private Welt des Wohnens.

"Arches create a generous public space on ground-level which is animated by numerous programs; Being not based on any historical analysis of the site the project can be seen as a tabula-rasa insertion of an urban environment with generic historical references to the idea of urbanity, Housing is accommodated within the bars that hover on top of the arches; due to their equal heights the parallel bars form a horizontal roofscape of partly public spaces, being connected by bridges; the bars also serve as connecting elements to the neighbouring area across the highway." (excerpt & paraphrase of the jury minutes)
