- Systemic changes
In historic city quarters people are living in introverted apartments, having no balconies, no terraces, facing poor quality in public areas. Building an individual outdoor space requires know how, time, money and patience to go through the official approval process. Maybe the reason why so few people take initiative.
This project proposes to solve this problem jointly for a block of four historic buildings (built in 1890 ff), in total ca. 85m length and 30 apartments. A Vertical Garden and a green and traffic-reduced street will be developed at the same time. Individually configured balcony elements are attached to a static basic structure. A joint participatory process of relevant public and private stakeholders will create an exemplary and multipliable process to reduce time and costs and therefore upgrade public and private living space, raise design quality and design efficiency.
This project serves as a prototype for countless other streets in Vienna and other cities in Europe.
Today the Rosaliagasse is occupied by individual traffic. Private living space is totally introverted. The quality of public space is limited.
The project provides a vision of how this street could look like if all all relevant stakeholders would approach the climate change challenges open minded and courageously having the needs of future users in mind.

The Transformation elements of an urban street with historic buildings.
The new Public-Private Partnership participatory process of all relevant private and public stakeholders. As role model to raise design quality and efficiency and to reduce time and costs.
