International Urban Design Competition (2-phase), Exhibited April 2010 – 1 Prize
As Consultant working in conjunction with Pablo Molestina of Molestina Architekten & Thomas Fenner of FSWLA Landschaftsarchitektur to develop the design strategy for re-envisioning Berlineer Allee as a pedestrian street. This included a re-structuring of a series of non functioning and cut-up plazas, which had been made void by an elevated highway, dividing a heritage Park, the ‘Stadtgarten’ to the center of Düsseldorf.
A strategy was developed aided by a series of ‘experiential walks’ which started at the entry points to the city of Düsseldorf, the train station and the Autobahn. It found significant views and landmarks, which would help to orientate a pedestrian within the city and its terrain. In this way I developed, working with a large-scale model and composite photographs & video documentation and analysis, an overall design strategy ( w. PM and TF noted earlier) that worked both experentially from the stand point of the pedestrian and urbanistically in terms of view points, paths and orientation.
