Cognitive maps

Cognitive map: characterised by special points of reference, such as landmarks, axes, junctions and districts, which are in connection and relationship to each other. The two building areas “cinema parking” and “bene factory” can become separately or in their interaction new junctions and landmarks in close exchange with the historical town centre. The essential local characteristics can be described with very opposite key words, which produce tension and make the charm of this town: mountain and valley | tower and ditch | width and compression | view out and view in | light and shade. The town is surrounded by nature and recreation areas. In the centre however the land for directly assigned free spaces becomes somewhat scarce.
