“Marseille Mix - synchronization of infrastructural, environmental and cultural flows”
diploma thesis summerterm 2011
The diploma thesis addresses the potential of regenerating former industrial zones of harbour cities into new dynamic cultural and commercial hubs. The idea is to amplify the complex movement and interchange between visitors and inhabitants, and thus to create an intense interrelation between both urban and aquatic landscapes. These dynamic flows should accentuate away from the traditional function of port gateways, which act as borders and not as parts of a coherent urban fabric. The proposal suggests a new urban intervention at the city’s waterfront that should bridge the level difference between the waterfront area and the existing city fabric: This implements a combination of both cultural and commercial aspects with the port terminal functions, a multi-directional space instead of a fix-oriented gateway, and multiple opportunities to intermingle both visitors and citizens. In terms of relating those issues to a designated city, Marseille, as one of the most dynamic and diverse ports on the Mediterranean Sea and as a composite of historical and emerging city typologies defines an ideal city to implement these design strategies.

Hello Gil.
AntwortenLöschenI like your project very much, especially the fluid shape. Currently I am doing a project too and I am wondering how you made the floor plan (i have seen the posters on my tutors picture gallery).
How is this slight, dynamic shading done? Can you give me some advice, reply, or feedback? Would be very nice.
Thank you and all the best
