Abstract

The project aims to ally with the Rotermann District in re-using parts of existing built mass to create recognizable architecture of a coherent style, contrasting in the way it treats the ruins. Its socio-urban effort is based on the understanding of what is necessary to balance out the dominant paradigm of economic growth in the quarter: Spaces for cultural stimulation that spark curiosity, foster a sense of shared responsibility, and engage locals and visitors. Complementary to the effects of mallification, Unfinishing Spaces aims to bind the fragments of space which have fallen out of time (or use) back into the fabric of contemporary architecture.
