Wolkon
PREVIOUS STATE
Paasdorf is a small "street village" in
Lower Austria. The task of feld72 was to position "Kulturlandschaft
Paasdorf"– an art project that is known far beyond the borders of Austria
– by means of a symbol on the village square.
AIM OF THE INTERVENTION
The design attempts to bring
together synergetically two formative components: everyday (local population)
and attention (visitors).
According to needs that change
considerably (both during the day and during the different seasons) the square
alters its appearance depending on how it is being used.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION
According to needs that change
considerably (both during the day and during the different seasons) the square
alters its appearance depending on how it is being used. Village square and car
park are not separated into mono-functional zones but blend together to
create a unity that can be read and used
in a variety of ways. When not occupied by a car almost every parking space is
something else - whether it be a wooden terrace , a flat pool of water, a play
area, seating, an urban topography...
The bus stop – the Wolkon –
functions as a landmark and information compass, It is a kind of "stage" both for
everyday life and for special events. The accessible roof is a lounge, DJ 's
pulpit, speaker's corner, and open-air gallery....
How public this village square actually is always
remains the responsibility of its users.
EVALUATION
The people of Paasdorf have
accepted the rules and possibilities imposed by the new square design, and are
using the new public square not just as a parking plot anymore, but with its
wide range of possibilities.
During special events the Wolkon
reveals all its potential and becomes an urban machine as stage, balcony for
the choirs and the mayor, DJ 's pulpit for village parties etc.
The young people of Paasdorf have
found a new space with which they can identify.
Visitors have now an easy
recognisable gathering point and the Wolkon has become a landmark for the whole
area.
