TOPIC
The area is subject to heavy future change for which the city already has passed a new zoning plan. The projects “Star 22”, “Oase22“ and Base 22” and a city maintenance centre will constitute “Neu Stadlau”, a new urban polarity offering a multitude of uses: offices, shopping, wellness and leisure facilities, a flea market, workshops, service centre, and various forms of living including assisted living and a senior citizen home. Europan shall act on 2 levels: on the architectural level, “Oase 22, a special housing program for elderly people shall propose new types for the needs of the senior-citizens. On the urban level a concept of how to link the different developments shall be established, focussing on soft-mobility issues. This includes the mediation between various scales and uses with a focus on the “speeds and habits” of different actors in public space. A new public landscape shall demonstrate how public space can act as mechanism of integration. Within this urban task the redevelopment of a dilapidated market and the crossing of considerable barriers shall be addressed as well, dealing with the overall improvement of the local conditions.
