Beschreibung
des Entwurfs-programmes 

The 2014 Design Studio of Prof. Girot will investigate existing topologies on the Rhine River in Basel and will look more particularly at the history of the Klybeck Island. The design work will follow the precepts of a site-specific approach with an emphasis on precise landscape modeling of the park beach and the island in response to the adjacent neighbourhoods located on both sides of the Rhine. The Klybeck Island on the right bank of the Rhine in Basel North has come in the limelight recently with the IBA proposal by MDRDV for a dense development called "Rheinhattan". A denser Basel will also need an urban river park at its heart, to make life more enjoyable and raise the overall quality and image of the area. Klybeckinsel was originally an island occupied by dense woods, which was later reclaimed and converted to a railway depot and gas tank Depot. It is particularly important to understand the strategic position of the Klybeck Island within the tri-national zone of Basel. It is precisely the last location on Swiss territory where people are allowed to swim in the river, beyond this point this is neither permitted in France nor in Germany. The connection of the Klybeck island to the tramline in Klein Hünningen makes it an important swim hub and destination. Response to the shaping of the former industrial site at the southern tip of the island will play a vital role in the design approach, it will also provide a strong framework for the park and the future high-rise center to the North.

Lernziele 

The goal of the FS 2014 Landscape Architecture Design Studio is to uncover new potential for the Klybeckinsel in Basel, by creating a new park on its southern tip comprising a landing bank for the Rhine swimmers, a beach on the inner arm for sunbathers and a set of local amenities. The idea with the new bank is to have this former island transform into an inviting large public landscape for this part of Basel. Students working on the design studio will be asked to work on variants for the bank at the southern tip of the island. It will be understood as the gateway to three riverbanks. Several site visits will be required during the duration of the studio. In addition to considering new approaches to urban landscape architecture, students will be asked to master advanced computer modelling and visualisation techniques throughout the semester. Sand modelling, CNC prototyping and visualisation techniques will be successively taught to students in workshops. Depending on the results there will be a possibility to exhibit the Klybeck Island projects produced in the Fall of 2014 in Basel.
