Schindler Award 2012 Competition task

Vision for a revived cultural quarter in Berne
The core themes of the task are urban repair, density, public space and integration.
The students will have to make better use of the public space and integrate urban repair ideas into their planning while also incorporating the various cultural and fringe groups that have settled in the area. The idea is to propose a new master plan in order to raise utilization and density in the perimeter without excluding any of the existing social institutions, and to improve overall quality and accessibility of the public area.
Six specific subtasks have been defined to reinvigorate the site:
Propose a new master plan to raise utilization and density in the perimeter
Strengthen the urban link among the area's three cultural institutions
Propose an adequate urban answer to define both the north-west corner of the old town as well as the southern bridgehead of the Lorraine Bridge
Integrate the existing Drogenanlaufstelle (drug dispensary for heroin addicts)
Improve the overall quality and accessibility of the public space
Link the public space in and around the Schützenmatt area with the footwalks on the borders of the Aare river.
Further details will follow in Septermber 2011 when the registration opens.
