Realization Competition for the residential development "Gämsenberg" in Ludwigsburg
The team of PLAN FORWARD GmbH was awarded 3rd place for its design for the new construction of apartment buildings on Gämsenbergstrasse in Ludwigsburg. A total of 18 architectural firms had been invited to participate in the competition.
In cooperation with the city of Ludwigsburg and Wohnungsbau Ludwigsburg GmbH, the Pflugfelder Group is planning an urban development concept for multi-family houses in Ludwigsburg’s Gämsenbergstrasse. The competition task is to demonstrate a sustainable urban development for the area and to obtain a high-quality, economical and sustainable new development under the mentioned general conditions, which adequately responds to the urban development and functional requirements.
Concept of PLAN FORWARD GmbH
The new quarter is to strengthen the existing green corridor and therefore receives a park-like and urban ecologically sustainable structure. The character of the Neckar valley with its surrounding vineyards as well as the neighboring former quarry is adopted as a theme and design element and forms pedestals as well as terraces in the new development.
The new development is understood as an ensemble of self-similar urban figures with a uniform design language of high recognition value and clear identity.
The connection of the new quarter to the Neckar valley above the former quarry contributes to the request for sustainability. In addition, the area of the quarry can be renaturalized and thus transformed into an attractive recreational area for the new quarter and the surrounding development.
