108 Open Team point of view “When the future is unknown, the most logical course of action is to propose something flexible.” Cities are dynamic and ever changing entities. If we assume that a city experiences positive growth over time, the most important goal in planning is to ‘control’ or ‘predict’ which direction and form the urban growth will take. By creating a series of flexible typologies that could work for very different programmatic scenarios, we allow change of use in the future and foster mixed use. With a strategy of different typologies, the sites will grow organically to generate diversity. It will eliminate districts that ‘die at night’ by providing 24/7 activity, creating rich spatial qualities and most importantly, a diverse community of people. We believe in the natural complexity of life. Jury point of view The project introduces a typological strategy, which suggests the deliberate distribution of a variety of urban types with an urban scale. These types are equally adaptable as they are suggestive of a mix of uses, giving Amstetten a good urban image and optimistic programmatic bandwidth. The combination of different typologies is interesting if one sees the proposal as an ambitious manual that triggers a dynamic discussion and process. Masterplan
