Theme and participating countries of EUROPAN 7
January 2003 - April 2004 (27 months)
| Theme: Sub-urban challenge, urban
intensity and housing diversity |
All towns are faced with the phenomenon of urban sprawl, splitting,
and fragmentation. The increasing use of the car, the development
of out-of-town shopping centres, the increase in the number of leisure
complexes, and the extension of business/industrial parks, seem to
be leading inexorably to a "dispersed town" urban model.
There is, visibly, a new will to act in these contemporary areas,
in order to reorganise them by reviving the traditional planning ethos
of European towns, and by associating this with the challenges of
urban sustainability.
The means to fulfil this need for the progressive transformation
of the contemporary town are provided by the existence of land development
opportunities and the appearance of a desire for spatial innovation
that has been generated by the evolution of lifestyles. Individual
autonomy is increasing , as is the diversity of social interactions
within the same family, professional mobility, and the speed of
communications; all of which lead to a more spread out town. On
the other hand, there is a strong demand for a neighbourhood social
life which needs to be rebuilt on new foundations. Architects responsible
for transforming the dispersed town must ask themselves how they
can give it a new set of values. François Ascher highlighted
this issue as follows: they must "help individuals both to
increase their privacy, and yet to be able to meet easily, to have
access to housing whose functions are rich and diversified…
Designers must be able to respond simultaneously to an increased
demand for both stability and mobility: this notion can be expressed
in terms of an anchorage rather than in terms of putting down roots.
An anchor provides stability until you raise it to move on elsewhere."
EUROPAN 7 proposes to tackle this issue at the point of the interface
between the urban planning level and the architectural level.
How can the dispersed town be transformed to a sustainable town
with its foundations in the new social and cultural demands that
are currently emerging? How can the creation of new residential
districts, with innovative typologies and complex programme briefs,
be fashioned into a strategic urban tool?

EUROPAN ÖSTERREICH
1 - Yañeziborracapdevila architecture office
(Vicente Iborra Pallarés - Ivan Capdevila
Castellanos - Javier Lorenzo Yánez Molina).
Wien. The first phase of reworking the competition
project (accompanied by several meetings and implementation
workshops) will be finished in March 2005. After
that, housing developers will apply for getting
the commission. They have to submit a realization-proposal
on the basis of the project’s quality criteria.
The most suitable-intelligent proposal will get
the commission which will integrate the architects
in the realization.
2 - OFFSEA (Office for Socially Engaged Architecture)
(Andrea Benze, Anuschka Kutz). Graz. In cooperation
with the university of applied sciences the winners
implemented the concepts of the project as a design
studio. Players from other disciplines (developers,
province, industry, users …) have been involved
in this strategic anchoring of the project on a
local level. An exhibition and symposium in June
2005 will be the next step to create a lobby for
implementing the project which is now developed
further on by the winners. The goal is to occupy
a niche on the market of prefabricated housing dealing
with wood as a construction material.
3 –Florian Sammer - Karoline Streeruwitz (first
prize) and SMAQ, Sabine Müller- Andreas Quednau
(2nd prize). Krems. Both winning teams have been
involved in a long term implementation concept which
is launched by the city. On the urban level the
teams participate in the huge development area of
“Krems-Ost”, which is guided by a local
spatial planning office. On the architectural level
the first prize-team has been cooperating with a
developer. They adapted the competition project
in order to meet the regulations for housing subsidies.
4 - architektur.bn (Bradic - Nizic). Innsbruck.
The winners adapted the project in order to meet
the density demands which were given in the competition
brief. After an unsuccessful meeting with the city
officials and the site owner in 2004 the winners
and Europan will now offer an implementation workshop
to the city and the site owner.
5 - Touzimsky Herold architects. Salzburg. As the
project’s program (senior citizen home) is
based on a broad political commitment there is pressure
on a successful implementation. The winners adapted
the project concerning the general housing program.
In 2004 the result was presented to the public.
Right now (February 2005), the ongoing negotiations
between site owner, developer and city-officials
have to be finished in order to trigger further
architectural development. |
