ShoppingColonnades as urban networking

For metropolitan centres in the claim of Mensch+Raum© (Human+Space), tomorrow requires the ongoing reorientation in today.

Human spaces are created on the basis of what is feasible or economic in order to generate urbanity in the individual smallness.

As early as the 19th century, colonnades of a space-connecting and space-enclosing architectural language emerged in Central Europe. Some of these still exist today and document the urban sense of values across the ages. The ShoppingKolonnaden© (based on UrbanMITTE©) are based on this value context with a new background.

For people, urbanity can only create a value-based life in the connecting development of complementary spaces. In addition to this, especially in Central Europe, strolling, experiencing, meeting and lingering need to be addressed in their own right due to periods of bad weather.

By building over public space, architectural language and use can be reoriented.

Not all property owners are owner-occupiers, so the desire for returns must be considered as a basic approach before the value of the property is secured. So incentives are needed to trigger urban developments.

Every successful good development needs its incentives.

The development for urban culture has 4 pillars - 1. city administration, which promotes future values, 2. property owners, who reflect the advantage of future orientation for themselves, 3. project developers, who are willing to think outside the box, 4. jadvance, which leads to a defined goal.

ShoppingKolonnaden© form an urban network on the basis of space and quality of life, to achieve a future-oriented value claim.

Through ShoppingKolonnaden©, the ground floor areas, seamlessly integrated with gastronomy, form the public space for urban life.

ShoppingKolonnaden© can have many architectural languages, but the aim is always to place public space as a connecting and lingering space in an urban context.

ShoppingKolonnaden© are part of a complementary 1A-CityConnectionSpace©.

ShoppingKolonnaden© on public space are also an economic basis to enable continuation.

Only an evolving master plan that comprehensively unites all segments of the urban space is able to do justice to urbanity in the claim of Mensch+Raum©.
