Wasserstadt Solothurn
The Wasserstadt Solothurn project is based on the planned rehabilitation of the former waste disposal site on the outskirts of Solothurn and proposes a sustainable development that will transform this area on the banks of the Aare river into a unique urban landscape. Following a preliminary study in 2006/2007 we now present this new waterside district that takes into account detailed hydraulic analyses and the principles of overall sustainability and responds to the ambitious goals of the “2000 watt per capita” society. It is envisaged that the thoroughly decontaminated and rehabilitated site will incorporate a new bend in the Aare river which will divide the project perimeter into a continuous strip on the “mainland” and an island. The new development is situated in direct proximity to the town of Solothurn on the intact “mainland” site. The island is to be left largely in a natural state to offset the construction ecologically. In this way, a new waterside district will be created at the juncture between the landscape conservation area of Witi and the western edge of the city, providing an exceptionally high quality of life with a distinct potential for community identity.
