Summary
In the design studio, we take a critical look at aesthetically neglected and mono-functional industrial zones. For these places, we develop new types of mixed-use hybrid buildings that enrich and transform these sites with functions such as housing and leisure, creating appropriate live-work spaces.
Content
The Productive City: Rethinking Working Areas
Early modern architecture divided the city into the different functions of living, working, leisure and transportation. As a result of this modernist way of thinking we got lots of monofunctional spaces such as family home settlements, working, residential and amusement areas, industrial zones and commercial centers all separated from each other.
It is time to rethink this division and to have a closer look at the aesthetical dis-regarded areas and to integrate these mono-programmatic areas in the texture of the city as an urban space.
Together we will explore and learn from these disregarded areas of the urban fabric and developing strategies to bring diversity and environmental quality to the monoculture of the working and industrial areas.
By developing new types of mixed used and hybrid buildings, we aim to enrich and reconfigure these special situations with functions like living and leisure to get an appropriate urban space.
The challenge will be to explore one's own solution of a hybrid structure or develop further an existing structure on site.
