housing as a paradigmatic icon
What type of icon do we imagine on this uniquely prominent site with its extraordinarily ambitious brief?
We believe it should be a contextual icon.
A building that stands out without being out of place by combining boldness with sensitivity for its surrounding.
It should be an icon that elevates the historic ensemble it is part of.
Rather than an abstract, introvert and self-referential object, it can be a layered and differentiated volume that creates a dialogue with the buildings around.
We believe it should be a paradigmatic icon.
An icon that embodies a paradigm shift: a shift towards a new future for the city.
A future in which cities are conceived as urban biotopes for people, plants, and animals.
Urban biotopes with nature inclusive architecture that boost quality of life ánd deal with the big global problems connected to climate change and loss of biodiversity.
