Sustainable city and new public spaces

To mark the ninth round of the competitions, EUROPAN is publishing a catalogue of the projects nominated in the 73 European cities of 22 different countries.

From Europan 8 session, a generic theme now runs through the ses¬sions: “European urbanity and strategic projects”. For the ninth session particular emphasis was placed on the issue of “the sustainable city and the new public spaces”. Urbanity can be defined as a common way of expe¬riencing the city and its functions, and also as a conception of urban space that encourages the coming together of people in places they have in common: public space. But where does public space begin and end? Can neighbourhood and prox¬imity spaces be considered as belonging to the public domain? Can we term public space the new collective spaces of common interest, such as shopping centres, stations and airports? Thinking out urbanity-bearing projects that lead to the question of the status of public space implies placing this question within the context of sustainable urban development that is to say spatial transformation that takes account of the environment and integrates it “sustainably” into the mutation process.

Europan Generation, the reinterpreted city

This catalogue paints the portrait of some twenty young architects and their agencies through the ambitious constructs that have emerged out of the Europan competition. Starting out from these early experiments, their skills have grown and deepened through professional practice at the interface between the city and the architectural object.

No.25 - Faces and spaces

A New Centre for the Olympic Village District in Innsbruck Austria

Architects: Willi Froetscher and Christian Lichtenwagner

This book traces the occurrences in Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, after Vienna based architects Willi Froetscher and Christian Lichtenwagner won Europan 4 in this area in 1996. The competition theme was "constructing the town upon the town". The architects were commissioned to plan and design 105 appartements (27 of which for assisted living), a multi-pupose hall, a supermarket, a nursery, a day care centre, a youth club, a parking garage and a public square.  The work was finished in July 2006.

The 143 prize-winning projects of the last session

European catalogue of Europan 8 results
Description of the 143 prize-winning projects of the 8th session

To mark the eighth round of the competitions, EUROPAN has published a catalogue of the projects nominated in the 74 European cities of 19 different countries.
The general theme "European urbanity and strategic projects" must be considered as a common way of experiencing the city and its functions but also as a will to deal with the heterogeneity of its forms. The strategic question would not be that of knowing what type of European city we wish to perpetuate but what European city we want for the future.
This clearly reflects the will to create public spaces around what is, without doubt, the specificity of European cities, to favour encounters among people in places they share.
