Masterplan for industrielt byudviklingsområde i byen Schwäbish Gmünd, hvor eksisterende strukturer og bygninger delvis bevares, og nye typologier og infrastruktur tilføres.

Beskrivelse:

​

Lorcher Tor: Crossing of Heaven & Earth is a proposal for future strengthening and identity development of the western area outside Schwäbisch Gmünd. 

​

By maintaining and using the existing qualities of nature, topography, colours and structures a modern yet contextual scheme for a new part of the city is created with roots in the history of it’s industry.

Former functions are mixed with new programs and active ground floors in order to create a diverse and vibrant neighbourhood.

​

The Rems river and northern border are enhanced with trees and vegetation, and serve as recreational routes for soft traffic, while new crossing connections are established through the site.

​

These meet and intersect at the new mayor plaza and towers which create a new attractive and green entrance to the city: Lorcher Tor.
