Djao-Rakitine Team: Irène Djao-Rakitine, Amélia ChevéeWe are currently developing the landscape strategy (public and private open spaces) of the Haargarten masterplan in the Wiltz river valley. Our project is based on the existing surrounding urban fabric and aims at enhancing the geographical, ecological, post-industrial specificities of the site.After the site analysis, two typologies of spaces appeared; they are distinct, complementary and directly related to each other:
- The “Post-industrial” area:
A district integrated into the fabric of the former Circuit Foil factory (a zinc and copper factory), that retains and enhances the history of the site.
The existing concrete slabs of the building’s basements and topography are kept as part of the circular economy concept.
The re-used structures such as the existing basin and metal frames of the warehouses is incorporated in the open spaces design and gives a unique identity to the new district.
- The “Village-Street”
Created in the continuity of the Industry street, on the contour line 345, the “Village-Street” follows the existing street drawing. Houses and small residential buildings are arranged along the planted street. It is a shared space for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, which constitutes an urban façade on a village scale.More projects
