Contribution to Hanover Expo 2000
The competition project for the world’s fair in the year 2000 is used as the incentive for developing a concept of city planning that is to have a sustained influence on the entire urban landscape of Hannover. The project consists of a vast artificial forest of trees and buildings, in which private and public spaces, organic and nonorganic forms are equally integrated. The project also takes a controversial stand on the decorative and conventional approach to green spaces in modern city planning. Urban Architecture The Expo is the political springboard for an urban architectural development of Kronsberg. For once this development can be approached in a more fundamental and unified manner than usual. Decisive for the success of this event in the year 2000 are the urban architectural advantages inherent to this site. Therefore, in this competition, the central question for the beginning of planning must be: Which urban architectural and landscape design ideas underlie the future site at Kronsberg and the project Kronsberg Forest? What is the historical and cultural background of this project?
