Bo01, Western Harbour Malmö, Sweden 47One very inspirative design feature of the Bo01 project is the advancedrainwater collection system that does not only collect all rainwaterfrom the area via overground water channels (fig. 74) into openedwater bodies (fig. 75), but it also creates an ecological, recreational andvisual resource. All the rainwater system elements are situated in thepublic open spaces among the housing blocks; and as such, they educatethe inhabitants and visitors about the great visual effect and the necessityto involve decentralized rainwater management in open space.Heinrich-Böll Settlement, BerlinThe Heinrich-Böll Settlement is an inovative development in Berlin-Pankow that connects a variety of eco-principles, such as solar orientationand building materials and a thorough rainwater managementconcept. It features convenient urban form of a medium-density developmentthat consists of loose blocks, providing sufficient naturalventilation (fig. 76), where some of the five-storey apartment buildingsare aligned into East-West oriented rows. The open space consistsexclusively of permeable and vegetated surfaces (fig. 77), rainwaterfrom roofs is being collected in overground water channels andled into a water basin in the south of the development.Fig. 74 Overground rainwater collectionKirchsteigfeld, PotsdamAmong many design principles applied in Kirchsteigfeld, one particularlyinspires the CSUD proposal for Heidestraße: the concept of carparking situated in the courtyards, on permeable pavement undervegetated pergolas (fig. 78).Fig. 75 Rainwater catchment basin47 Urban Design Compendium – Bo01, online; Gehl 2007, p. 80Fig. 77 Courtyards consist only of permeableand vegetated surfacesFig. 76 Loose urban blocks of the Heinrich-Böll Settlement (Google)Fig. 78 Parking lots on permeable pavementsunder vegetated pergolas3 Climate Sensitive Urban Design (CSUD) in moderate climate zone49
3.4 Climate-Sensitive Urban Design (CSUD) –Case Study Heidestrasse/EuropacityOne of the main tasks of this Thesis has been to compose a set ofCSUD guidelines. The task of this section is to apply these guidelinesto a Case Study project. For this purpose, an already existing urbandesign proposal for Berlin’s Heidestrasse/Europacity is reviewed for thepresence of the CSUD elements and principles. In case these elementsprove to be insufficient or missing, the composed set of CSUD guidelineswill be applied onto the existing masterplanning proposal. Finally,it will be summarized how the implementation of CSUD features affectsthe already existing masterplanning.Fig. 79/P1 Urban design proposal by ASTOC/Urban Catalyst/ARGUS, May 2010Review of the original Urban Design Concept for Heidestrasse/EuropacityThe documents used for investigation are the competition winning urbandesign plan developed by ASTOC/Urban Catalyst/ARGUS (fig. 79),the local development plans and other published documents availableon SenStadt – Heidestrasse, online. Questioned is, if the mitigation ofthe UHI effect at the district level has been considered and measuresfor its prevention accomodated in the existing urban design proposal;particularly the built volumes’ massing and urban geometry.
