Opis

_The goal of this project is to address the vacuum the location suffers, which strategy can be applied to give it a pulse? Soon! How can the energies of the planners, protesters and activists be translated into physical architecture? Can architecture function as mediator in between al these tension fields and transform ideas into action? Because of its former function, the spurs of the location appeal to the imagination, in other words, we could say; these are the presents of the site, this project highlights 3 spur presents: the unused train tracks, platforms 51-53 and the Zentralstellwerk by architect: Max Voght. "Here we have an aesthetics of the borderland between chaos and order, the margin, the area of "catastrophe" where the breakdown of the system can equal enlightenment." Hakim Bey - TAZ Pinpointing the present quality of the site gives us a free architecture were upon we can anchor minimal alterations complementing the already existing.
