Grünraumregal Augsburg

The project "Grünraumregal" ("City_Space_Shelf") understands the site as a shelf, which can be equipped with different functions and objects.
1_ Existing building structures are converted into residential housing to generate money for the  city and the site. Former stables are subdivided with party-walls to contain single family houses with gardens and former barracks are converted to loft styled flats.
2_ An urban armature is introduced as a tool, that defines different functions and spatial qualities of a park that connects the west of Augsburg in north-south direction.The armature is a piece of infrastructure, which can have the form of a wall, a bench, a path, a hill or sport facilities. It determines the maximum urban growth and thus, it  is a spatial as well as a political device at the same time.
3_ Urban blocks contain footprints of potential building plots and different interim uses.
4_ "Wohnregals" or housing-shelf are developed as flexible building structures, which are able to contain different spatial and social programs. Basic idea of the housing development is the house in the house. Flexibility and convertibility on one hand and also the quality of recognition and identification on the other, define the realisation of the main frame.
