JURY´S REPORT european urbanity - sustainable city and new urban spaces EUROPAN 9 ROSTOCK ROSTOCK be made dynamic without losing its individuality, but rather reinforcing it as an independent urban proposal. A greater differentiation of the residential bars with respect to how the lengths and heights are designed, the alignment, parallelism and different forms for the open areas is desired in order to interweave the stubborn principle more intensely with an even more attractive and more accessible design of the waterside and to understand it as an offering to the whole town. Adding on to single-storey buildings to give them an accentuated four-storey form which is opposed to the down-sloping terrain initially seems unusual, but, in the context of the open spaces and the differentiated housing, residential and design proposals, conveys a very plausible approach. The idea, characterised by urban construction aspects and with its courtyard house, linked rows of houses and the apartment building which brings in new aspects, offers sufficient and manifold proposals and the prerequisite for a required mix. FM 914 sinking cities Particularly in face of the worldwide discussion about an increasing sea level, “Sinking Cities” constitutes the active formulation of a building site which changes with the weather and sees this fact as potential. The design here questions the supposed safety of a real estate property on secure ground and is replaced in favour of a changing environment with a new relationship to water, theoretically as a residential adventure. The residential units, however, do not exploit the potential of their relation to the open space. This could be designed more forcefully and more provocatively. The proposals for the design of the open spaces, which react to the changing water levels and could provide a unique public realm still have to be developed. UR 300 elevated village With the creation of residential groups, in order to create inner courtyards, a clear structure in the urban construction of the eastern surface areas is generated. Only the Gerberbruch axis leads into the area from the old town. The area directly in front of the town wall is clearly inferior to the eastern area in its urban construction because it does not convey clearly defined statements. A green area between these new buildings to the west and the town wall means that the distance to the historical old town is respected and the visual axis to the Petrikirche (church) is maintained and extended. In the area on the banks of the Warnow, an attractive and generous green belt will be created with a clear orientation towards the water, a public path and incorporated public amenities. What is noticeable is the penetration of the area in its middle axis by a water canal that flanks the footpaths and forms a central area. All in all, an area, which has qualities that invite people to linger there is created by the naturefriendly concept in the partial area along the banks of the Warnow. The same treatment of the towards the connecting street is regarded with criticism. Also regarded with some criticism is the design of the public and semi-public spaces which cannot be concealed, not even by the atmospheric perspectives. The reduction of the street that goes along the canal in the middle of the quarter to its function as an access point and measures to calm the traffic overlook the opportunity for an urban proposal for the open spaces complementary to the generous natural open area on the banks of the Warnow. The fragmented building structure of contemporary architecture plays with the texture and style of the old town. The 2 to 4-storey residential groups play an exemplarily subordinate role in relation to the old town. Through a differentiated development of the buildings, extremely diverse structures emerge which allow very different residential forms (apartments, maisonettes). 14
JURY´S REPORT european urbanity - sustainable city and new urban spaces EUROPAN 9 GYÓR GYÓR GYÓR WARSZAWA CC 881 urban magma The design defines the small alleyways in the town quarter and, ultimately, redefines the overall structure of Sziget. By maintaining the industrial building fabric and by adding to this with a flexible, carpet-like residential structure, an interesting interaction is created between the large and the small. This leap in scale is bridged by means of residential towers which are connected to the public functions. The deserted factory buildings are to be reutilised to serve public functions (sport, multifunctional spaces, local supplies, restaurants) and will be arrayed along a curving line to follow the building fabric. These closed spaces will be interrupted by paths that permeate the entire area, giving the exterior spaces a strong identity. The exterior spaces, which are seemingly haphazard, and yet clearly positioned due to the existing buildings and the predefined roads and pathways, lend the quarter an additional quality that is true to scale. WS 248 wetside The concept assumes that the industrial building fabric is to be almost completely demolished, as it was not erected until the 20th century. In its place, it is proposed that a nature area be reintroduced/reinstituted on the former floodplain as water lily-like forms. The area will be filled with these circular forms and, by leaving out several buildings, the emerging intermediate spaces will be defined as public areas. The project introduces a new, unusual character to the area, which is totally foreign to the existing, adjacent structure. The dynamics of the units nevertheless reflect the rhythm of the Sziget district. These forms stand out due to their functional flexibility. Alternating cross-sections and different arrangements of the volumes within the structures enable identifiable, versatile spaces. Due to the unusual form, the public rooms will be defined in a novel way. They deliberately forgo the conventional central character and, instead, create flowing spaces. The oblique surfaces that resemble segments of a circle underline the fact that a certain group of users (students, researchers and professors) are being addressed. DG 112 DONGIOVANNI The authors have decided to accentuate the diffuse suburban former commercial area with the strong figure of a largely visible gatehouse. This building has been designed with a keen eye on the townscape, but at the same time, interrupts its relationship to its environment. It opens up a wide view across the town and, in turn, also simultaneously draws the attention of people crossing the bridge towards the building. The concentration on the large form with underground garages and shops, sport facilities and restaurants, as well as the elevated plateau for access purposes mean a great deal of work for building and maintenance, but allow respective green areas and open spaces to recreate themselves in diverse ways. The jury appreciated the large gesture that the design provides with an honourable mention because it provides an opportunity for discussion about an urban construction feature by another dimension in the town Gyór, however, they found the details of the project inadequate. XY 139 urban cocktail This project picks up on the scale and morphology of the surroundings in a playful and intelligent manner and develops a mixed utilisation quarter with its own identity and a high residential quality. It emphasises local features and creates diverse intermediate spaces which have an inviting and open atmosphere. 15
