Urban Plan for Neuperlach
Firm
SIZE
1,000,000 +
Neuperlach, a satellite town on the outskirts of Munich that was
originally built from 1967 on for 80.000 people, reflects more than 25
years of modernist urban development. It is characterized by wide
streets dividing the several quarters, and long distances between the
urban functions that could only be reached by car. The several
districts are clearly differentiated from one another and dominated by
large-scale buildings. The structural plan from the 1960’s has never
been completed; the centre of the district has never been realized.
For this proposal, we stay within the vocabulary of Neuperlach: the
largescale urban plan interpreted in a new way. We use the ‘block’ as
an urban frame and adapt it according to seize and program (housing,
office, shop, etc.) in its depth, length and width. We also use its
spatial qualities for the landscape. Arranging those elements
on the plot creates a great variety of urban situations and squares.
The inversion of the frame makes urban inner spaces to outer spaces and
vice versa. Thus, the block, known as in a strict grid arranged and
introvert building type which isolates itself from its context, is
newly defined: The frame works!
