Hannover City 2020 + - Phase sits a Last night was held at the Sprengel Museum discussion event on the first phase of the urban design competition Hannover City 2020 +.
were in the packed auditorium presented the plans of the 28 architectural firms to develop the southwestern city of Julie Schonauer from the office Machleidt + Partner. A good summary of the evening can be found here
.
Let me just say a few things that I noticed.
The main focus of competition was evident on the Intervention area Leibnizufer / high bank down. This was evident in the pattern of the event and the name. The intervention area Leibnizufer / High banks (which often include Frederica Square and Waterloo Square) was a depression area, the remaining three areas (at the Royal Stables, Inger Köbel market action market) termed the viewing rooms. This suspicion was later confirmed in the event of Mr. Bode man.
This classification seems useful, as is the area at the high banks of the one with the most development potential. Care must of course that the other rooms are not very neglected.
particular, by reorienting the Köbel Inger market could move the new city hall closer to the city or town. But would also need an intervention, be possible with the existing buildings, namely the Maritim. Because the hotel construction is not only ugly, but kills his whole environment. For Köbel Inger market and the Theodor-Lessing-Platz, the building presents expansive single-storey concrete blocks that serve as the delivery zone or kitchen area. to make any case does not augur well for this quarter from a life of residential quarters.
Another issue here is the narrow passage between maritime and VHS.
During the event, I still ask why the mentors
this process to shape the city for the future, all felt as much as 70 years or older. In this way you get in there in no case more fresh air. One almost gets the impression the city (parts of the Government) want to "preserve" said Hille Brecht's legacy. ;)
The average visitor of this event about 55 years old, or thinks he is above average educated and has gray hair.
Man feel the audience is a very similar homogeneous mass.
You feel an interested student, sometimes a little out of place.
also
typical Hanover fads have come to light. It was asked, for example, worried, where is all the traffic should point in the planning (at the Leibniz bank). Since
had Bodemann then again on the studies of traffic load, carried out prior to the competition, and refer the possibility of "Disziplinisierung" of the traffic areas.
