Open Space and Square Design for the New Construction of the Hubland Tram Line | Würzburg
3 x 2nd prize and 1x 3rd prize | In collaboration with Benkert Schäfer Architekten
Existing squares with their deficits in terms of quality of stay and function, climate resilience, address formation, identification and representation, networking, mobility and proportion of green space are renegotiated in the course of the redesign and transformed by a redesign in line with the times. This offers Würzburg an opportunity to make important squares more tangible again and, depending on the urban context, to qualify them with new functions and qualities.

Astrid-Lingren-Avenue | Cologne-Brück
1. Prize after Review | In collaboration with hector3 architects
The urban development planning of the area should fully utilise the potential of the new neighbourhood under sustainable principles. The preservation of green spaces and the new planning of communal and public open spaces should strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and open up new opportunities. A neighbourhood square forms the new focal point, which is both the intersection of various paths and a visual connection. Courtyards arranged to the side are thus given a quieter atmosphere and form an exciting contrast. Near-natural soakaways and play areas round off the design.

Lindgens Site | Cologne
2. Prize
The open space planning design for the Lindgren area creates a balanced equilibrium between the urban, stone square and the greened pocket park, whereby the creation of a high quality of stay and the interconnection with the neighbouring urban and green spaces are in the foreground. With a design language that refers to historical, industrial architecture, old structures are used as models in the new square design. The combination of wall panels and furnishing elements creates exciting views that play with themes such as transparency and demarcation or foreground and background, changing the perception of the square depending on the point of view.

Hilgenfeld | Frankfurt
3. Prize | In collaboration with Dirschl.federle Architects
The design focuses on connecting the individual residential areas by creating a green link between the public open spaces. The resulting cross-connection, which includes occasional extensions and squares, is intended to increase the proportion of greenery in the neighbourhood and create meeting places. In addition, certain areas offer space for play and sports facilities. Retention areas are intended to store rainwater locally so that it can evaporate or seep away with a time delay.
Kornblumenplatz forms the heart of the neighbourhood. Here, cafés and commercial areas are intended to enhance the quality of life. Planting areas on the edges of the square round off the concept.
