Expert's process A) Urban planning
The project proposes a design of open space and structures of building volumes that provide a spatially functional basic approach via themes and is both flexible and adaptable. The location, previously closed off from its surroundings, will be opened up, linked spatially to the adjoining urban area and given an independent character.
This character will be developed from five basic themes: 1. Global, local
the project responds to two existing basic structures.
Structure 1 (global) is a worldwide agreement: the global world coordinate system. It allows orientation beyond local borders with the use of a compass, is a signature for the place and provides direction.
Structure 2 (local) takes up the local characteristics of the site (development structure), of the surroundings (linking of routes, visual connections), of the existing buildings (reaction to a new building structure), and the existing trees (outdoor space concept).
Both together form the basis of the structure. 2. The four quarters
- Diversity in similarity
- Four architectural strategies
- Creation of an address Quarter 1: (Zone A North)
"the dense packaging"
- Plinth houses the infrastructure
- Optimum transport and traffic connections
- Hard urban surface
- High density Quarter 3: (Zone A and Zone C / West)
"Offices in the garden"
- Calm, meditative
- Meshing the building with green space
- Soft surfaces
- Low density
Quarter 2: (Zone B East)
"The Campus"
- Sequence of differently dimensioned outdoor spaces
- Old meets new (building and landscape))
- Gradual transformation
- Medium density
Quarter 4: (Zone B South)
"Development zone“
- Halls become green spaces surrounded by buildings
- The traces of memory 3. The center, the sub-centers
The project concentrates all the important functions of the public and semi-public world in the northernmost quarter of the project, near to the commuter railway line. The center is situated at the focus of the development mass and at the intersection of the most heavily used traffic routes. A concentration of activities creates the maximum amount of vitailty for the space. The front areas to the plinth level in the ribbon park are used for different kinds of events (ranging from internal Siemens functions to a public flea-market). In the plinth area functions such as exhibitions, multi-purpose halls and trade fairs are located. Sub-centers are strategically distributed across the entire site to serve the local needs of each area. They offer small public squares, so-called "feel-good islands.
4. Orientation, identity in the city
Two points suffice to determine one's own location in the city.
Two striking points that literally meet one's eye on the site serve as orientation points. The view of both the Millennium Tower ? as the extension of the ribbon park ? and the Leopoldsberg are both kept unblocked. 5. The connection
the central building:
- It connects the four quarters and allows them to be experienced together.
- It is a central connection in terms of both form and function (central services).
- Through its striking situation, it provides orientation and direction the nodes:
- The nodes connect spatially, functionally and in terms of content
- The nodes structure and accentuate a basic structure that is in principle, neutral.
- The nodes are bearers of identity and orientation points for users, ensemble and outdoor spaces
- The nodes allow a clear and robust office structure the green network
- Not a space centered on itself but connecting linear woodland (parcours)
- Instead of the classic positioning of autonomous green spaces beside each other, here the emphasis is on with each other. B) Typology:
Typology/Flexibility/Economy
A basic type over the entire site allows:
- Creation of Siemens standards
- Even the garages have the same grid, same ceiling height and the same structural system
- The garages can be converted into office space and the number of car parking spaces can eventually be reduced
- Can be realized in stages or reversed
- Planning oriented on a life cycle
- Technology with a positive effect on operating costs
The special / the standard - The blocks: 90 % standardized, pure basic structure. The uniformity of the elegant pin stripe suit. Standardization allows the maximum reduction of construction and running costs and a minimal use of facility management. - The nodes: 10 % special functions, special construction / technology / materials
Nodes structure and accentuate the basic structure that is in principle neutral. They give the individual buildings and the outdoor spaces belonging to them a certain significance.
The users identify with the nodes and use them for orientation - The nodes make it possible to react flexibly to changes in the work scenario. Auslober:
