MONROE BLOCKS, DETROIT SCHMIDT HAMMER LASSEN
The first US project for Schmidt Hammer Lassen, Monroe Blocks will aim to ‘stitch together the urban fabric’ of downtown Detroit, connecting some of its key public spaces. The scheme includes the creation of the city’s first high-rise office tower in a generation as well as 480 homes, commercial spaces and entertainment & sport and leisure facilities; it will ‘re-establish historic alleyways, introducing new public plazas and green space while prioritising the public realm both indoors and out’. Also involved in the project developer Bedrock Detroit, local architects Neumann Smith, engineering firm Buro Happold and landscape architects SLA. Ref: 2627
OLD CITY HARBOUR, ESTONIA ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS
JURONG LAKE DISTRICT MASTERPLAN, SINGAPORE ARUP
The Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has unveiled the masterplan for Jurong Lake District in Singapore, what will be the city’s second central business district. The ambition is to create a new mixed-use business area built around the future Kuala Lumpur to Singapore high-speed rail terminus. The plans incorporate new waterways and a series of stacked horizontal landscape datum and connections that weave through the entire district to create a distinctive identity for Singapore and its vision of being ‘City in the Garden’. The integrated, sustainable urban systems maximise the streetscape by proposing to place all major transport and engineering below the city, creating layers of optimised infrastructure and a ‘car-light’ district. Existing heritage buildings, landscapes and ecosystems are respected and repurposed in a ‘powerful dialogue’ with the new development. Ref: 8756
Zaha Hadid Architects has won the Masterplan 2030 competition for the Old City Harbour in the Port of Tallinn, Estonia. While contemporary in concept, the new masterplan deliberately preserves the city’s urban fabric, its vistas to historic landmarks and its views to the sea. The new city blocks within the masterplan will continue the existing scale of adjacent districts. The flexibility of the masterplan’s civic zones allows for a number of uses, including culture, entertainment, shopping and hotels, to serve Tallinn’s residents and its growing number of annual visitors (anticipated at over five million in 2017). The new pedestrian quayside incorporates terraces served directly by cafés and restaurants. Ref: 1825
