Description of the Competition

Caused by the abandoning of traditional sites inside the cities and simultaneously progressing suburbanisation, fully developed fallows increasingly come into being. They diminish the attraction of the towns, their environment often develops into urban problem zones. Not least because of the sustainability concept should the communities be endeavouring to restrict the expansion of the settlements and put preferably those valuable fallow grounds to their new and proper use.

These problems are taken care of by the "EU-Competition for Bioclimatic Urban Redevelopment" which is supported by promotion funds of the European Union - the partner are 8 Municipalities in 4 countries.

The EU competition serves the cross-border development and realisation of sustainable (rehabilitation) concepts for the revitalisation of urban fallow grounds, including renewable energies. The objective is, apart from enhancing the attraction of those areas, to promote the transfer of knowledge and technology within the territory of the European countries. Bringing together nation-specifically different approaches is to contribute to a global optimising of the rehabilitation methods. Special demands are being made on the sustainability of the concepts to be proposed.

Type of procedure

The competition is carried out as a cooperative procedure. It is divided into two phases. In a first, national phase, every community involved in the EU competition offers Europe-wide a reward for a site-related, open and anonymous competition of ideas.

From the anonymously submitted works of phase 1 a site-related jury will award a prize to the four contributions which are best with regard to the local requirements and will nominate these for the participation in the second, European phase of competition.

Upon presentation of the prizes to the prizewinners of phase 1, colloquia will be held with the four first prizewinners and representatives of the jury for each case in order to discuss the more sophisticated works and to give recommendations for the further work on the drafts.

In phase 2 of the procedure an international jury chooses from the total of 32 works awarded with a prize in the first phase (8 sites with 4 works each) those which represent the most innovative contributions made to the general task definition of the competition irrespective of the site.

Eligible are architects and town planners domiciled in states of the European economic territory as well as in the neighbouring European countries, which are at the same time candidates for a membership in the European Union (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia).

Sustainability.

The competition makes special demands on the sustainability of the concepts to be developed. In addition to ecological aspects, also social and economic aspects have to be considered.

If possible, the inhabitants are to be included in the restructuring and rehabilitation process. Here all those involved should work together on a basis of mutual trust and cooperation. The prevailing competitive mentality has to be given up to the benefit of a lasting and sound project.

Ecologically desirable and economically sensible acting have to be weighed up. Promoting the ecological commitment appears to be sensible as long as it does not yet represent any binding or social standard. Extra costs for ecological measures relieve national economies on a long-term basis by sparing the natural resources. Another objective of the promotion is the effect of the "economies of scales", by which investment costs can be reduced in the future.

If possible, the inhabitants are to be included in the restructuring and rehabilitation process. Here all those involved should work together on a basis of mutual trust and cooperation. The prevailing competitive mentality has to be given up to the benefit of a lasting and sound project.

Sparing the resources

In addition to ways toward the conservation of energy and its optimum utilisation, alternative forms of energy production have to be further developed. Up to now, the existing techniques have not yet gained enough currency. Presumably, despite extensive development programmes of the past, it is because of the so far higher investment costs compared with customary techniques on the one hand, and because of the lacking awareness of the population of the necessity and the mistrust of the new techniques, on the other.

Part of an ecological master plan are further requirements, as for example, to be sparing with water or to use ecologically safe building materials.

Energetical requirements

As to their size, density of population, living standard, climatic conditions, styles of architecture, cultural way of life, resource availability, and also their structure of existing energy systems, the communities are very different.

At any rate, energy-saving measures have to aim at the low-energy building standard (max. 50 kWh/(m2a)), if possible, however, at the passive building standard (max. 15 kWh/(m2a)).

For energy production marketable techniques are to be employed. In this case, the objective of 100% of renewable energies is to be approached if possible, the production can be on-site as well as off-site, by sharing plants in the neighbourhood. Domestic refuse incineration is not recognised as renewable energy in this competition.

Campaign For Take-Off" / 100 communities

In their white paper on renewable energies the European Commission provided that in the year 2010 renewable energies will yield a share of 12 % of the whole energy supply required in Europe. In order to speed up the putting into action, the "Campaign For Take-Off" (short: CTO, 1999-2003) was launched in 1999. One important contribution of the campaign is the "100-communities programme". This programme aims at engaging single pioneer cities, communities, regions, and islands to strive for a 100 percent energy supply, produced out of renewable energy, for an area to be defined. The communities involved in the competition have the opportunity to become "pioneer communities".

Ambitions

Rehabilitation

Social:

  • Consideration of the historic and cultural context
  • Revitalisation by resettlement
  • Inclusion of inhabitants in the town planning
  • Protection of historic buildings and monuments
  • Revitalisation by new concepts of use
  • Inclusion of inhabitants in the rehabilitation process

Concluding remark

The participants in the competition are expected to show creative qualities linked with an appropriate concept of utilisation, related to the local conditions, and considering especially energetical aspects.

The offerer of the award hopes that the competition contributions will both gain in their quality from the cross-border approach of the competition in urban development, architecture and rehabilitation and yield innovative concepts and methods.
