URBAN MORPHING, Europan 7
The Hague - first prize
By using the strategy 'Urban Morphing' it is possible to restructure and reactivate a neighborhood of the 50’s and at the same time to avoid the ‘ tabula rasa’.
This urban transformation will be developed according to four basic strategies:
1 Increasing of the urban typology variety
2 Transformation of the urban morphology
3 Redefining the use of the public space
4 Establishing a new infrastructure with new parking solutions
'Urban Morphing' proposes the disappearance of almost all the cars from the streets by using semi buried parking areas directly connected to the users' houses.
