Park der Konturen is a statement for an integrated urban and lanscape strategy. A new green loop connects the new Emsauenpark Reuschberge and the different housing areas. Orientation and Identification is provided by the significant design for this route. A strong and unique combination of urban and landscape elements with the new park at its center.
The Reuschberge neighbourhood is given more contour that stimulates activities and interest creates new events in public space and strengthens the outlines of the city.
low maintainenance meadows offer places for recreation and communication in a ntural environment. Here all generations can find areas to relax and play in different programatic areas. The high degree of freedom within the natural park asks for occupation.
The park is surrounded by four very specific housing areas that exploit the potential of the context. Thereby the overall urban structure remains fexible yet robust enough to adapt to future changes in program and parameters.
