The Green Knot
The Green Knot - destination:mobilityThis 9ha master planning scheme for Graz, Austria, is a city landscape and a landscape-city. - An urban junction in the shape of an inhabitable green mega-structure; a walk-on park with infrastructural functions within. But the Green Knot is not just a solution to an infrastructural problem; it is a destination in itself. It doubles as an inhabitable veil where people can live, play, rest, commute and shop. It absorbs pausing traffic, interchanges and re-distributes. It enables different speeds of movement to coexist with a 100m tall wooden residential skyscraper at its heart.A landscape of bridges, ramps and steps enable the smooth interchange between different means of transport and connects existing and new elements. The proposal blurs the transition between inner city and suburbia. It has the capacity to be sufficiently ‘elastic’ to be a growing future cityscape that can be adapted to meet all demands. The various eco-credentials point towards a greener future within an urban environment.Living there becomes a lifestyle choice of the 21st century. A housing programme is a continuation of the green landscape concept. Plots and buildings are no longer fragmented. Instead the new volumes sit borderless within the new park. The implementation is flexible – a slow procurement is feasible. Its design parameters and its overall strategy becomes the evolution of the Green Knot. There are green roofs throughout; some of which allow access to the public via planted ramps. The dynamic volumes become an integral part of the landscape.
