Fostfeld Centre | Kassel

2nd Prize | In collaboration with Baufrösche

The urban and open space planning designs for the development of the site of the former Heinrich Steul School were presented at a workshop meeting and further developed together with citizens in a cooperative and transparent process.

The design for the new Forstfeld district centre follows the guiding principle of ‘Forst in focus’. Three new buildings complement the existing Forstbachweg building and the gymnasium and together form the district centre. The future residential buildings, consisting of the ‘Tower’ and ‘Atrium House’, complement the ‘Boomerang House’, which creates space for meetings, education and living. The structural arrangement creates an open residential courtyard. A park-like open space serves as a connection between the elements and invites people to relax, play and exercise. The neighbourhood square facing Forstbachweg forms an entrance to the new district centre.
