When we first visited the site, we discovered the words “MY ZVÁRANIU ROZUMIEME”—“We Understand Welding”. This is a fitting mantra for our approach to evolving a place full of character and memorable artefacts. We look forward to welding together existing and new structures, landscapes, and neighbourhoods. Our framework unites these elements with a mix of living, working, and cultural programmes to ensure an authentic and sustainable ecosystem evolves over time.
The jury deliberated upon the final six design proposals from Benthem Crouwel, KCAP, Stefano Boeri Architetti, Quercraft and Gro Architekti, and Zeit Architects. The jury was convinced by our sensitive approach to the territory, respecting its industrial past and ability to transform a closed area into a vibrant and open district. They said that the design brings a thoughtful integration of housing, offices and public spaces with an emphasis on functionality and sustainability.
The result will be an urban neighbourhood which will not only serve future residents but also the general public with its quality public spaces, civic amenities, and better connection with the environment.
The first visualisations and overall concept will be shared in the coming weeks....
