Our role was based on the historical knowledge of the industrial site, as majority of buildings were designed by our company in 60 years ago. This fact and archive availabilities were key factors for the successful development of ideas how to use the site, so that it fits to existing regional strategy. There was engaged a lot of our architects creativity and also a lot of analytical data incl. demographic data.
Outcome
