On the way to the lake | Inden-Schophoven
3. Prize
In the coming years, the surrounding area in the centre of Schophoven will be transformed into an extensive recreational area with a lake, focusing on sustainable developments and the effects of climate change. The park will integrate the Müllenark estate as a tourist area with a green inner courtyard. A blue-green band, accompanied by retention troughs, connects the estate with the edge of the lake, enables rainwater utilisation and creates a versatile recreational space. The park will be modelled using local materials, thus emphasising the responsible use of resources. The planting is planned to be as diverse as possible, with a focus on species diversity and biodiversity. The promenade and the transition to the lake will be developed in stages, with a protective wall to be retained. The lighting concept developed will ensure a night-time atmosphere, safety and consideration for the environment.

Brunnenquartier | Karben
Recognition
The Brunnenquartier in Karben is to be characterised by its blue-green infrastructure as a future-oriented residential quarter. Several green corridors and a neighbourhood square run through the district. The paths are accompanied by retention troughs that reflect the theme of water. In addition to their ecological benefits, watercourses and water features also serve as play and relaxation areas that break up the green corridors. The neighbourhood park in the interior is intended to form a heavily used neighbourhood park, in which not only encounters are encouraged, but a play and climbing sculpture is also integrated in the immediate vicinity of the planned daycare centre. As a prelude to the neighbourhood park, a small neighbourhood square is planned as a further meeting place, which will be enhanced by large trees and seating.

Vocational Training Center | Bamberg
2. Prize | In collaboration with Atelier 30
The design for the Bamberg vocational training center primarily uses the large forecourt of the building, but also the small inner courtyards that result from the architecture. A spacious green area with seating gives the forecourt a certain quality of stay. Adjacent to this, a green parking area will provide sufficient parking spaces. In the inner courtyards, plants combined with seating invite you to take a break in the sun.
