REUSE OF THE HOSPITAL COURTYARD WITH CHURCH IN ZITTAU

Com­pe­ti­ti­on ent­ry with Ate­lier Starzak Stre­bicki

Our revi­ta­li­sa­ti­on pro­po­sal for the lis­ted hos­pi­tal estate on Mar­tin-Weh­nert-Platz in Zit­tau pur­sues a careful rede­sign of the exis­ting buil­ding in three trans­for­ma­ti­on pha­ses, with respect for its his­to­ri­cal heri­ta­ge. The new cour­ty­ard, as the heart of the ensem­ble, forms the cen­tral com­mu­nal space and con­nects archi­tec­tu­re, land­scape and city.

The use of eco­lo­gi­cal mate­ri­als, sus­tainable rain­wa­ter manage­ment and par­ti­ci­pa­to­ry pro­ces­ses are part of the sus­tainable urban rene­wal.

The result is a place that pre­ser­ves histo­ry and pro­vi­des new impe­tus for urban life.
