Green Wave
These panels are the result of an ideas competition for the austrian town Straßwalchen (in Salzburg). Straßwalchen is a minor city in the low density belt around Salzburg. It consits mainly of two crossing roads. The german word for road “Straße” is in the name included – this city has been facing the problems and benefits of mobilty and traffic since it’s foundation. Our contribution “Die Grüne Welle” won the first price and was presented in town hall to an interested audience.
Strasswalchen will evolve in the future. Our goal is keeping the qualities of this city and improve further groth of the housing areas. The Green Wave is symbol of a sustainable transformation in terms of the two most important factors in the future: energy and environment. We propose targeted interventions in Strasswalchen: A dense residential area with garden plots, a green ring with a variety of recreational opportunities and an energy concept for the huge spaces aquired by the company Lagermax. And a newly designed square in the center, which will form an attractive business area, will give the city a new face. Strasswalchen will be in the flagship in terms of energy and sustainability for the whole region.
