Mixed areas and proximity

Sustainable development and a lively urban district need a maximum of multiple functions and uses within a diversified and compact urban structure. Attractive, functionally and socially balanced neighborhoods are important requirements for the quality of urban space and urban life. It is essential to offer different housing typologies for different needs and incomes. The notion of proximity is strongly linked to mixed-use urban space and even goes further in considering the availability of urban services in a short distance of all living or working places. Mixed-use and proximity are an answer to the needs of citizens and can be the paradigms for the regeneration of urban areas on all levels (housing, working places, commercial activities, mobility, leisure, open spaces...). How can new synergies of working and living spaces be created?

 

Landscape, climate and energy

The landscape of St. Petersburg is an important feature of the city. There for, the relationships between city and landscape – between urban development and nature – must be re-established. Attractive urban and green spaces are the basic elements of a comprehensive public image and promote identification with the city. Energy consumption is an important subject all over the world. Resources are not unlimited and pollution and climate change is a reality. Improving the energy efficiency of urban areas while working on the adaptability of buildings and spaces, mobility, energy consumption, production and networks are more and more essential issues.

But the question of natural resources are not only limited on gas and oil, but have to be extended to all materials, products and forms of consumption. The coming challenge is to develop urban areas based on the notion of closed circuits and the necessity of reduce, reuse and recycling.

 

 

Program

 

The objective is to conduct with the French, German and Russian students an urban study on the territorial, urban and neighborhood scale of a specific area in St Petersburg with a strong presence of water. The French and German students are confronted with a new cultural and historic context and encouraged to analyze and understand the urban areas in a dialogue with their Russian fellow students.

 

Together they identify underused or inadequately used sites and develop a general strategy for the urban development of the territory, based on the local context. They develop propositions for this area and on the identified sites for creating a new relationship between the city and the water and to enhance the quality of urban space and urban life through strengthening the diversity of functions, land uses and urban forms.

 

3: Project area

 

Project ideas have to be worked out at different scales. Based on the analysis of the site and the understanding of the local context, scenarios for future development of the former industrial belt (area bordered by Gulf, Obvodnij Canal, Neva river and Bladodatnaja Uliza, Kuznesovskaja Ul) have to be developed (scale 1:20.000).



 

4: Industrial belt – area of transformation

 

The focus of the studio will be on the regeneration strategy and the spatial concept / masterplan for the area located between Obvodnijy Canal (North), Moskovskij Prospekt (East), railway line / or and Blagodatnaja / Kuznesovskaja Ul Uliza (South), and Prospekt Stachek / or Uliza Marschala Povoroda (scale 1:2.000).

The work groups will focus on some selected areas and work them out in detail (building typology, accessibility, open spaces, scale 1:500). A „key image“, perspectives etc. are mandatory in order to illustrate the envisioned urban ambiances.

 

The studio is a „collaborative studio“. It will be organized and conducted by KIT Karlsruhe, ITMO St. Petersburg and ENSA Strasbourg.
