PROPROJEKT was commissioned by the Office for Construction and Real Estate of the City of Frankfurt to organise and conduct a restricted design competition in accordance with the guidelines for planning competitions (RPW 2013) with a subsequent negotiated procedure in accordance with the Ordinance on the Award of Public Contracts (VgV).
The subject of this competition is the design of a new building for the Friedrich-Fröbel-School in the district Niederrad. The aim of the competition is to develop the elementary school into a five-form elementary school in the future due to increased demand, with the addition and integration of the existing sports hall and the associated planning of the technical equipment and outdoor facilities.
In particular, innovative concepts and ideas are to be developed that enable the topics of 'cluster schools' and 'open learning landscapes' to be addressed. The City of Frankfurt also expected forward-looking design concepts that achieve the highest possible overall efficiency, comfort, usability and architectural quality with the lowest possible use of energy and resources.
From a total of 146 applications, 15 participants were selected in a preliminary competition. 5 participants were nominated in advance by the awarding authority. In the end, 17 competition entries were submitted. Under the chairmanship of architect Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir, the jury met from 05 to 06 June 2024 in the gym of the Friedrich-Fröbel-School in Frankfurt am Main and unanimously awarded three prize winners and three commendations.
After the competition has been completed, a negotiation process will be held with the respective prize winners. The final decision on which of the award-winning designs will be implemented is expected to be made by the end of this year.
