SP | I’m mobility

Located in Braunschweig, Germany the site shows relations to important traffic networks. The urban district adjoins the northern circular road zoning the urban core as well as the „Hamburger Straße“ being a major connection to the industrial area of the city and the highway. Their crossing is an important junction for public transport like bus and tram. Parallel to the ring road runs the „Ringgleis“, a former railroad system circulating the city core. It is being transformed into a cycle path connecting most of the cities residential districts and describes the northern border of the designed area. Our approach provides a residential district serving different clientele and offering a sustainable way of local interchange. The buildings close to the crowdy main roads are taller to protect from noise pollution and house commercial and public utilization.

A two-leveled grid system provides efficient coverage and enabled us to design a narrowing walkway connecting the southern transportation hub with the cycle path. Along the promenade are public buildings like a theatre, workshop, community service, hostels and many small shops creating a new cultural center for Braunschweig. A bike rental station near the main crossing is the core of our new approach on public transportation. It allows citizens to arrive by foot, car or public transportation and interchange to a bike, sustainably reaching their destination within the neighbourhood or city. The automated system allows for continous service and low cost.

A second grid determines the placement of buildings, concrete and gravel. The lamellar elements create acess paths for buildings, shared compounds or public facilities as well as parking for cars and bikes. Their band-like appearance seems to fade out, thus blending green and urban into a harmonic composition.

Please be aware that I reworked the rendering of this project in 2018 since I was not satisfied with it anymore.
