Archi­tec­tural Com­pet­i­tion Baufeld 26 Nord

The con­struc­tion site ‘26 North’ is the last unplanned con­struc­tion site in Frank­furt‘s Euro­pavier­tel, where the City of Frank­furt has held out the pro­spect of a sky­scraper with res­id­en­tial usage. To ensure the qual­ity of urban devel­op­ment, an archi­tec­tural com­pet­i­tion in accord­ance with the Guidelines for Plan­ning Com­pet­i­tions (RPW 2013) was car­ried out in coordin­a­tion with the Plan­ning Depart­ment of the City of Frank­furt am Main and the Asso­ci­ation of Archi­tects and Urban Plan­ners of the German State of Hesse.

PRO­PRO­JEKT was com­mis­sioned to organ­ize and con­duct the pro­cess and to pre-exam­ine the archi­tec­tural designs. The com­pet­i­tion was con­duc­ted as a single-phase archi­tec­tural com­pet­i­tion with 6 par­ti­cipants. The aim of the com­pet­i­tion was to develop an archi­tec­tur­ally appeal­ing and eco­nomic design solu­tion taking into account the required object­ives of the owner.
