(Translation:Vectors for the sustainable and democratic development for the area surrounding the old gas plan in Neu Leopoldau)
Competition for participation in the collaborative process of urban development around the NEU LEOPOLDAU area, Vienna
collaborators: Almudena Cano
Vienna 2012
AWARD WINNER togerhter with teams querkraft and Tillner & Willinger.
In the development of a neighbourhood there are a large number of different influences, interests, disciplines and parties involved.
Instead of a linear way of thinking and working, inadequate to deal with the complexity of said context, we propose a fragmented focus: a collection of tabs, which highlight different aspects to consider in the planning and mark out a course of action. Each tab is independent, and you can add or remove tabs and organize them by themes and focus, leaving the planning process open to the different parties involved in it.

Once the competition had been won, a series of workshops in Vienna were carried out, to define the urban concept of the new area, together with the other two selected teams: querkraft architekten and Architekten Tillner & Willinger.
The work carried out, based on the negotiation between the different parties involved, provided an answer for the concepts of mobility, free space and building configuration, forming the basis for future planning of the suburban area.
