The operating area is flat-rolled by the construction machinery, dedicated and is now for sale. The main thing is that companies settle there, no matter which functional buildings they pop out of the ground, is the motto in many communities. In Amstetten, things are different with “Quartier A”, a huge development area that the city and 13 surrounding communities have acquired. It is no longer just the request concert of investors. “In all projects, we already demand that raw materials are conserved during construction, and then sustainable management,” says Mayor Christian Haberhauer (VP). “This district will shape the face of Amstetten for decades,” adds Deputy Mayor Gerhard Riegler (SP).
Because you don’t want to allow any more uncontrolled development and certainly no more concrete desert, architects, designers and scientists are developing a concept for a new district that will meet the challenges of the future. The specifications contained therein are embedded in a contract that every property developer has to sign and fulfill when setting up his factory, office building, business or apartment block on the paragraph. “The result not only has an impact on Quartier A, but also has an impact on the entire city area,” says Vice Mayor Markus Brandstetter (VP).
Yesterday there were employees of “Weatherpark” with measuring devices on the premises. “The arrangement of the buildings is then calculated in the computer model, which brings about the best fresh air supply through the alleys and cooling through trees”, explains the Steyr architect Helmut Poppe, who with his partner Andreas Prehal belongs to the project team as well as the mobility planners from “con.sens “. A new form of car sharing and the proximity to the train station should relieve future residents and users of having to own a car.
Old Remise will be the centerpiece
Artists and technology freaks create a new scene in the former engine shed. The result of the architectural competition will be announced in January, and it is already clear that the old remise will not be demolished. “It is wonderfully embedded,” said Günther Sterlike, managing director of the Amstetten GmbH economic area, from the winning project. The Remise is well on its way to becoming a cultural center such as the Posthof in Linz and a technology forge such as the tobacco factory. 500 young people take part in the Future project, 100 alone program computers in a club.
