COMMON ARCHIPELAGOS /BRIEF IBA TRAJECTORY / SPATIAL RESEARCH AND FUTURE GOVERNANCE

COMMOM ARCHIPELAGOS

BRIEF Common Archipelagos responds to the man-made contrast between city and nature. The aim is the preservation of landscape spaces through islands of diverse human activities in a symbiotic coexistence of urbanity and natural space. “Develop to protect”is the key feature. In contrast to the typical development of today’s cities with low density structures and condensed urban center, Common Archipelagos offers a new resource-saving urbanism in harmony with nature on the territory of two country (LUX, France) sharing common ground Dogger land.

The intention is to minimize the ecological footprint and soil sealing, reduce the need for private space and at the same time offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces for community use.

IBA TRAJECTORY

International Building Exhibitions (IBA) that is a special format of urban and regional development. They are hallmarks of national building and planning culture. For more than a century now, these experimental fields are bringing the current issues of planning and building into the focus of national and international discussion.

SPATIAL RESEARCH AND FUTURE GOVERNANCE

In these critical circumstances IBA creates the opportunity as an actor to take action; highlights systems of rural development and ecological resilience. The visual mural detailed phases of geographical expansion, edge condition comes into play. Interconnecting the two bordering countries LuxFrance Based on Common ground, Geothermal zone, with transitional potential of creating affordable housing.

In the history of mankind the trend of urbanization of natural landscapes by eradicating simply ‘nature’ or keeping it as urban parks and squares. Nature is a vital element in whose absence the diversity around us is lost . Current IBA trajectory gives us the tool to put these two odds in common ground and the limits to explore the ways of getting the best out of both , urbanism + nature.
