Lightness in contemporary architecture can also be understood as an expression of sustainability. A building is sustainable when it remains adaptable across multiple life cycles and is designed and constructed with efficient use of resources.
The project is based on a prefabricated structural frame with timber–concrete composite slabs and diagonal steel bracing. Infrastructure is organised vertically and efficiently routed to central technical zones. Flexible dry construction systems and lightweight partitions enable adaptable housing layouts.
Two residential typologies are proposed: dual-aspect apartments and single-aspect compact units arranged along a circulation hall. The structure is designed for long-term adaptability, allowing future transformations into cluster housing, care units, or new, yet undefined living arrangements.
A continuous green landscape connects the buildings and integrates them into the wider neighbourhood, creating fluid transitions between streets and garden spaces. A connected pathway system forms a promenade architecturale, fostering shared spaces and inclusive forms of living.
The project is a statement for climate-conscious design through compact typologies, flexible structures, low-emission construction, and reduced basement levels.

Der Entwurf des neuen Stadions integriert sich harmonisch in die umgebende Landschaft und Topografie. Die Gebäudegeometrie greift die charakteristische Flächigkeit des Sportparks und des Mauerparks auf und überführt sie in ein zeitgemäßes, barrierefreies Konzept. Der historische Kontext bleibt für die Nutzer erlebbar. Der zentrale Boulevard verbindet das Stadion mit den Sportpark-Gebäuden und schafft eine attraktive Begegnungs- und Aktivitätszone. Das asymmetrische Stadionvolumen öffnet sich zum Boulevard hin, während die Erschließung durch zwei Rampen entlang des Trümmerhügels eine uneingeschränkt inklusive Zugänglichkeit für alle Nutzer gewährleistet.
