mini-project bridging Görlitz and Zgorzelec

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

There used to be 7 bridges in Zgorzelec and Görlitz, now there are two … we are proposing another third one.

After our talks to the locals  and analysis we noticed that there is not really that there is alreay a lot of exchange planned but somehow due to burocrathy and lack of interest, the exchange seems a bit forced. “Polish people come for dm and Aldi; we go there for petrol, cigarettes and sex” said one German to us.

Well what do you propose as an architect / urban designer than? Shall we produce a satirical image or some productive criticism or force people to fuse?

The students are up to design whatever they feel fits the best. All together we found a place suitable for another bridge. It is on the German side, the former textile factory, than condenser station and since the 80s empty.
