Recognition - competition design Bozner Platz
Bozner Platz is located in the center of Innsbruck, at the intersection of important urban axes that connect public buildings. Bozner Platz is a clearly defined square with a center. It is framed on all sides by buildings and yet not dominated by any of these buildings, which underlines its importance as a public, urban space. And that's precisely why Bozner Platz is unique and it has to be an all-rounder.
The square has undergone significant changes over time. If we see a square in the historical pictures that looks primarily as a designed urban space, we now perceive the square more as a green space that is burdened by a lot of traffic.
The design proposal for the redesign of Bozner Platz tries to clarify its lost qualities by presenting itself again in a design-conscious manner, underlining its proportions and giving the needs of the pedestrian city user more priority than those of motorized traffic.
