Exhibition of the competition entries in the town hall
22. June 2024
A total of ten architectural firms took part in the urban planning competition for the “Römern” development area in Herten. There, the city wants to develop a residential area with an expected 300 apartments on around 5.5 hectares. In a team with AG Freiraum Landschaftsarchitektur, we won the competition with our entry “Vier Römer”.
Our design approach of the “Vier Römer” is characterized by the clearly defined relationship between city and (cultural) landscape. The existing settlement structure is extended in four strands and given a striking conclusion. They interlock the city with the landscape and thus create an atmosphere of living in and with the cultural landscape. We reinforce this basic motif with the productive landscape that flows into it, intersecting with a climate and biodiversity band along the existing course of the stream to form a central landscape site.
The competition entries were presented to the public on June 22, 2024 and can be seen in the town hall from June 25 to July 8. Further information on the website of the town of Rheinfelden
