“Dense Fields – Light City”, Bremen 2013
LIN made a competition for the new district Hulsberg-Viertel, Bremen
The site of the former hospital Bremen Mitte is a place with a long historic tradition. Developed continuously during the past 150 years it today houses a large variety of public buildings of all kinds of epochs. Due to its use as a hospital it today displays a public space in the city with a large green network and freestanding buildings of which some offer strong identity for the city.
The proposed plan wants to transform the site into a new neighbourhood with new housing typologies and a radical mobility system, while keeping its specific character as a space with a long public tradition enabling for living without a car in a diverse neighbourhood that can be seen a test ground / laboratory for urban development in the 21st century.
