Description
The cultural and industrial city of Basel is currently undergoing a far-reaching transformation. The chemical-pharmaceutical industry is gradually being replaced by biotechnological clusters, and most of the former production areas are to be given over to new urban uses. In the next 15 years, new urban quarters for more than 20,000 inhabitants and 40,000 jobs will be created. It is important that urban expansions are linked to the existing urban fabric both spatially and socially. The existing and new thoroughfares lend themselves to interweaving these different quarters and creating new identities with public space and new uses of the center.
Each design studio will deal with a specific highway and develop an urban planning strategy to link the quarters. The students’ individual proposals for concrete programmes and designs will give urban planning and architectural shape to this vision. A possible image for Basel 2035 will emerge from the total of almost 150 designs.
