    SIEMENSÄCKER

    SIEMENSACKER_WEB02

    Collaborative development of the competition Europan 12 (2014-2015)

    Masterplan approved by the Vienna City Council in December 2016

    COMPLETED (2017-2022)

    1. Negotiation tool: Due to winning the second prize of the competition of the area Siemensäcker in Vienna, we were invited to be part of the masterplan with the winner-team SLLA Architects. Our proposal ‘Urban Software’ solved the complexity of the area with a matrix as an instrument to define a negotiated urban planning. The compatibility with the winning proposal, involved us in the collaborative process.

    2. Collaborative process: The masterplan of 8 ha with a constructed surface of 120.000 m2 (density: 1,5) was developed by workshops together with an interdisciplinary team: architects, urbanists, landscapers, mobility experts, etc. During the design process, the team was in contact with representatives of the involved institutions of the town hall of Vienna (MA21), the main investors (Sozialbau AG) and the organisation of the Europan Austria (StudioVlay).

    3. Diversity: The result of the collaborative process is a diverse tissue, complex and open to investments of different scales. In a graduation of density, the buildings gets smaller from the industrial zone of Siemens to respect the small scale of the surrounding single family houses. The buildings of different scale (XL, L, M, S) are dispersed in between a big lineal park and pedestrian streets, which relieve the new district from the presence of cars.

    4. Scenario: In the design process, 48 hypothetical models were established to prove the validity of the urban system, of the typologies’ flexibility and of the building guidelines. The associated planimetry resulted in the masterplan of Siemensäcker approved by the Vienna City Council in December 2016. SiemensackerModels_WEB

    5. Multiplayer city: It was a pleasure to be part of the collaborative design process, with every agent having different abilities, interests and necessities. When the masterplan is finished, the process continued: a guild of experts defined the qualities of open space, alternative mobility and the diversity of uses.

    Once the Masterplan was approved, the land owner (Austrian Real Estate) together with the institution Sozialbau AG, planned the development of the buildings, commissioning various offices with the architectural projects. Arenas Basabe Palacios was commissioned to design 3 residential blocks (Selma Am Park), which are integrated into a diverse, porous and pedestrian neighbourhood, the result of collaborative planning that makes the production of the city a more democratic process.
