TEAM POINT OF VIEW — In opposition to the generic city where
empty spaces are composed of built volumes -Der Schwarzplan-, we are trying to put forward a model of a contemporary city where the built environment is composed of empty spaces. By using this strategy, we are trying to reveal and give back to the common good the diversity of collective spaces that are rooted in the industrial structure of the Andritz-Hydro area. Over time, this working city ought to become an example of sharing space’s industrialisation. Therefore, the modernist principle “Form Follows Function” must evolve into the humanist principle “Form Follows Public Function”. That is what we call Der Weissplan.
