regional concepts... developing a region s prospects On a regional scale we develop conceptions for structural problems and restructuring processes. It is our task to sharpen the region s profile and to design a distinctive label for it, so as to picture it s prospects with concrete strategies. The project Nordstad, depicted here, situated in the North of Luxembourg, defines of the potentials of adjacent small towns as an urban network, to develop them into a spatial figure in the regional context. Selected other projects Spurensuche, Baesweiler Search for clues - Development of a regional slag heap conception, Carl-Alexander-Park Das Versprechen der Landschaft, Ruhr Area The Promise of a Landscape - Development of an overall concept for the remodelling of the course of the Emscher Das Euregioband, Border triangle GER/BE/NL Conception for the Aachen - Maastricht Liège region as part of the Euregionale 2008 program Das Bild einer Region, Berne picture of a egion
urban planning... experimenting with overall conceptions One of the main focuses of our work is the formulation of distinctive, urban development conceptions and the experimentation with spatial and syntactic correlations. A robust urban development framework is the basis for the high quality architectural imprint of any location. The project RWTH Aachen-Campus in Aachen, Germany, depicted here, consists of the definition of the future structure and shape, leading from an overall concept to urban design details for the new campus area. Selected other projects Ecological model dwelling Hohlmühle Bayreuth, project in the line of the Offensive Zukunft Bayern - Neue Siedlungsmodelle prograrm ( Offensive Future Bavaria new models for dwellings ), Peripheral project of the EXPO 2000 Innenstadt Wesseling - Wesseling city centre Development of an urban design conception for the City of Wesseling to strengthen its identity Ennepebogen Gevelsberg - Ennepe Bend Gevelsberg, Redesign of an inner city industrial area, project in he line of the Stadtumbau West program ( urban redesign West )
urban design... creating space Urban design has become a main focus of our enterprise through interdisciplinary collaboration with landscape architects. A strong focus on a town s individual strengths, often developed from historical analogies, leads to the formulation of a town s character and makes it feasible to experience. The project Ahaus, depicted here, consist of the formulation and implementation of a large scale concept for the prospective development of the city centre, up to certain urban development details in the pedestrian zone. Selected other projects Annaplatz in Düren Redesign of the Anna-Church surroundings Wermelskirchen 2002 City centre design in Wermelskirchen Old Town Bahnhofsplatz in Wesseling Design of the area of tha Railroad-Station of Wesselin surroundings Markt Würselen City centre design of the central market and shopping street, Prize winning concept at the federal state competition Stadt macht Platz - NRW macht Plätze / City makes room NRW creates squares
Structural design... between context and object In the line of structural design we develop aesthetically ambitious solutions, cooperating closely with specialized civil engineers. The respective location with its characteristic parameters leaves its imprint on the object, with due consideration of the individual wishes of the occupants. The project EnnepeFinanzCenter in Gevelsberg is a perfect example for a building designed on the basis of an urban development competition. The new building for the Sparkasse Gevelsberg has been designed as the first component of an overall conception. In the summer of 2007 the second component, the Stadtterasse ( City Terrace ) as an entrance to the future Ennepe Park, has been completed. Selected other projects Tor zur Südstadt, Southern Recklinghausen Gateway to the Southend - Experimental housing construction, project in the line of the Internationale Bauausstellung Emscher Park Gemeinsam Wohnen von Jung und Alt, Aachen Old and Young living together - Trendsetting housing construction as part of the ecological city of the future program Maierie Lorentzweiler, Luxembourg design of a new town hall Bauverein Gevelsberg New office building for the Gevelsberg Bauverein
Redevelopment Rebuilding... new meaning through respect With regards to a reasonable future prospect we consider the utilization of existing substance of building a matter of increasing importance. The interference in the existing structure serves the objective to enhance the values and add new meaning. The depicted project Maison Mirkes in Vianden, Luxembourg, a reconstruction procedure including an extension building to an old private guesthouse, is a good example of how Old and New can develop an inspiring dialogue. Selected other projects Dreifensterhaus, Aachen Reconstruction of a listed residential and office building Working class estate Im Grüngürtel, Düren Reconstruction and modernization of a listed estate from the 1920ies House Krippes, Ferschweiler Reconstruction and restoration of a former barnyard into a village community centre including dwellings and club rooms Zehntscheune Wallendorf (Tithe barn)
International projects... new challenges In the course of the last few years international projects took more and more share of our area of operation, opening up completely new experiences to us: On the one hand making use of our experience while on the other taking in challenging new impulses. Thus we could realize a housing estate in Guangzhou (China) with 1200 flats, shops, a school and kindergarten, which has been completed in 2006. Selected other projects Rebuilding development Baltijsk, Russia outline plan fort he reconstruction of the Baltijsk Old Town, EU-project (in cooperation with the RWTH Aachen isl) Urban extension Belém, Brazil Urban planning conception for housing quarters with approx. 2.500 residential buildings and model design for dwelling buildings Two Disc. living in Dong Shan, China Development of a 100m plus tower building with dwellings, offices and shops in downtown Guangzhou, China, completion 2007 Muqdadiyah Strategic Master Plan, Iraq Master plan update and strategic planning for the city of Muqdadiyah, Iraq, completion 2013
Competition Management In addition to our core competences in the fields of urban planning and architecture we have been assigned with consultant and project management functions, including consulting and execution of quality assurance in the course of general development planning and the organization of competitions in the fields of urban planning, architecture and landscape planning. Besides the expert tasks concerning e.g. conceptual formulation, our services also include process management and public relations.
