1ST price International Competition AVIAPOLIS URBAN BLOCK, 1st Place
Insideout responds very well to the competition brief and reinterprets the cityscape as a dense, diverse and activity- driven urbanity, stating a new image, giving Aviapolis a strong identity and a new landscape in the context of both international and local concepts. The cityscape and the overall architectural approach are developed by putting into focus the citizens’ urban life, not cutting an imagined built mass into streets, superblocks and voids but instead building urban structure from a playful but still strictly gridded non-centralistic organisation. It is more like slowly developed, multifunctional French or Italian villages than our Nordic functionally separated suburban projects. The project could work very well from a synergistic and community-creating design perspective. The project has all opportunities of being a sustainable urbanity in different levels, from social sustainability to the management of solar energy and the delay of the flow of storm water drainage. The proposal is highly innovative and shows a different approach to planning which gives the project high development potential and viability. All in all a beautiful proposal.
