Second place competition entry! Linz's Hauptplatz has been transformed into a vibrant pedestrian zone, prompting the city to launch a competition for its redesign. We submitted "Tor zur Welt" in collaboration with Kardorff Ingenieure Lichtplanung GmbH and komobile GmbH – a proposal that redefines this vital urban space. Our concept made it to the second place and focuses on: - Enlarging the 'Hauptplatz we love': By repositioning the steps, we create a cohesive, entirely public space, free from commercial uses. - Dissolving the bottleneck: We propose a new traffic flow that clears the way for a prominent axis of active mobility, extending across the Nibelungenbrücke. - Reconnecting the Old Town and the Danube: A new viewing platform invites visitors to linger and enjoy fresh perspectives. Learn more about our proposal here: https://lnkd.in/d8eJMN3T We congratulate 3:0 Landschaftsarchitektur on their winning proposal. #Wettbewerb #Hauptplatz #Innenstadt #Nutzungsstrategie #UrbaneVerbindung #Competition #MainSquare #InnerCity #UrbanLink #UrbanPlanning #Linz #Austria

We should re-think this valuable and central space in Porto. Can you image a green avenue or an urban boulevard? Is it possible to make this space accessible for people? Is there more space for extra housing and other functions? ... the Future Design of Street - association ...
