NEW PROXIMITIES

The opportunity to inject new life in the de-centralised neighbourhoods is found in the entrepreneurs of the productive economy.

The Taufkirchen area in Munich, Germany, is considered a blueprint for the upcoming development of the city, a new coexistence of work and production together with a set of collective spaces.

The different nature of the blocks are physically declared in its image. The two-storey podium attracts different functions serving as the entrance for the residential units, connecting the parking plot underneath and protecting the newly designed park from the street.

The residential is organized in linear typology placed on top of the podium. The architectural ambition is to develop a language based on a set of simple modules that contain the complexity of the new forms of working and living; a modularity that allows to place the system in diverse context without losing its expression.
