CITYFÖRSTER’s Post

How can a former industrial site become a piece of the urban fabric while preserving the traces of its history? Our design for the Henschel Quarter in #Kassel opens up historic sites to the public and secures them through flexible use. It is integrated into the city and accessible to everyone. The aim of our design is to preserve the historic #industrial culture while making it usable. Listed buildings are carefully restored and remain part of the public space, while the industrial past is preserved through minimally invasive interventions. The open space is transformed while historical traces such as tracks and crane runways are preserved, supplemented by green spaces and playgrounds. We are proud that our team together with urbanegestalt PartGmbB has won second place amongst a strong field of competitors, and we extend warm congratulations to Coido Architects, Hamburg for their win!
