Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
First Session:“The proposal involves a combination of Viennese green, Liesing red, and the Liesing “L” into an urban strategy for a modular, laboratory-like type of architecture composed of three “L”s: the spectacular red “L,” the sustainable green “L,” and the flexible lofts.
The overall concept of the modular construction system, the depiction and the degree of elaboration was unanimously judged to be very convincing and of high quality. The project is not considered a finished one, but instead, is interpreted as a flexible system. Besides the flexibility of the floor plan, the presentation of the spectacular and the sustainable “L”s creates a sense of identity, and gives the project some unique functional characteristics. Breaking up the encrustation along the Perfektastrasse is perceived to be very pleasant and of high quality. The positive effects of the first phase are clearly shown and very persuasive.
A dialogue with the project W11 NU346 potent-IAL – From Industrial Area to Productive Neighborhood is also deemed interesting.”
Second Session: The jury appreciates unanimously the conceptual qualities of this project. Instead of proposing a finished design, it is conceived as a flexible system, whose conceptual code provides a high potential for the industrial zone of Liesing. It is considered as a new branding for the industry zone and therefore acts as a Flagship project for the whole area, meeting the desires of the developer and the city.
The three “L” elements address the main strategic topics of the infrastructural core, the productive shell and the flexible platforms in-between them, creating a specific identity and unique functional characteristics. Also, the flexibility and the productivity in the third dimension (vertical productivity) of the proposal is deemed as one of the main assets of this project: it offers possibilities for diverse industry forms and thus is regarded as being adaptable to the ‘industry of tomorrow’ with its diverse modes of production.
The proposal is considered as a hybrid between a concept and its formal interpretation. The latter needs to be worked out further on, as it currently appears generic and repetitive. The jury questions the programming of the proposal in terms of social control. The activation of the site outside of the working hours is seen as one issue, as well as the use of the green façade as a main social meeting space, which would have positive side effects on the surrounding area. In general, the project is considered as an important and innovative contribution to the global discourse on the productive city.
The jury strongly recommends to further develop the architectural part of the project in order to translate its conceptual strength into an appropriate image, and to reflect the performance of the buildings concerning the quality of the in-between spaces and the contribution to the improvement of public space and public program. As well the jury proposes a dialogue with the project W11 NU346 potent-IAL - From Industrial Area to Productive Neighbourhood in order to integrate the potential of transformation on a larger scale, regarding the future development of the entire industrial area Liesing.
