Parklandschaft Tempelhof competition: Second round with six planning teams.


Following closure in October 2008 of air traffic at Berlin's Tempelhof Airport, a 380-hectare area has become available for Berlin's urban development, whereby the 220-hectare airstrip is set to become a park for the citizens of Berlin.

In March, the Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development launched the Parklandschaft Tempelhof landscape planning competition for the design of this open space. Of the 78 planning teams submitting entries, six have been invited to enter the negotiation procedure regarding the content, execution and costs of their proposals.

The six shortlisted landscape architecture offices are:

- BASE, Paris
- bbzl böhm benfer zahiri, Berlin
- Capatti Staubach, Berlin
- gross.max, Edinburgh (see plan on the right)
- Rehwaldt Landscape Architects, Dresden
- Topotek 1, Berlin

It is planned to exhibit the selected projects at the end of August in the Tempelhof airport building and provide people the opportunity for open discussion with the representatives of the planning teams during the event.
The winning concept is to be chosen in mid-December.

Between 1936 and 1941, Tempelhof Airport was enlarged by the Nazis into a major travel hub in line with their architectural ideas. Later on, during the Berlin Blockade of 1948/49, it became the focus of international politics as the landing place of planes flying in desperately-needed supplies when the Soviet Union blocked all access to Allied-controlled sectors of the city.

La Grand Canal Square es el mayor espacio abierto público en el área portuaria de Dublin. Está ubicada en una rivera del Grand Canal y forma el punto focal de este nuevo desarrollo. Encarando al canal, está flanqueado por el nuevo teatro diseñado por Daniel Libeskind, como también por un nuevo hotel hacia el norte y un desarrollo de oficinas hacia el sur.

En esta ubicación, dominada por la expresión arquitectónica contemporánea, Martha Schwartz Partners ha creado un espacio público que otorgará color y dinamismo a los espacios abiertos de Dublin. Debido a su condición de celebridad cultural, una alfombra roja dirige por el centro del proyecto desde el teatro hacia el canal y viceversa. Por otra parte, una alfombra verde conecta el nuevo hotel con el desarrollo de oficinas.

La alfombra roja está pavimentada con un nuevo material generado con resina y genera un brillo que desde distintos ángulos trata de imitar el “movimiento” sobre ella. La alfombra verde tiene una expresión más tranquila y otorga grandes espacios para sentarse en los extremos de las jardineras de diferentes alturas. Las jardineras, polígonos extruidos de la alfombra verde, están plantadas con vegetación de pantano, como un recuerdo del histórico humedal en esta zona y algo de césped para persistir y disfrutar de este lugar. Llegando al final de la plaza se encuentra una especie de fuente con un rasgo más acuático de mármol verde apilado que está escurriendo agua constantemente.

La plaza está cruzada por senderos estrechos que permiten moverse a través de ella en cualquier dirección posible a la vez que contiene grandes actividades como comercio o ferias. La nueva plaza será un imán urbano con actividad las 24 horas y es una interpretación elocuente de la energía de Dublin.
