The design question
The competition brief concerned a square next to the municipal building. Our proposal explored how a large public space could gain a stronger frame, a recognisable identity and the capacity for different activities.
My contribution
Within the West 8 team, I contributed to preliminary and developed design of the timber hall, its components and connections. My work also included drainage, connections to the parking garage and parking-entrance renovation, in dialogue with Lüning engineers.
The value
The built timber hall frames a public square for markets, events and everyday civic life. Architectural detail gives a large public structure a recognisable identity.
