Mandaworks和Hosper Sweden最近赢得斯洛伐克，特伦辛市国际城市设计竞赛的头奖。拥有五万七千人口的边境城市特伦辛临河而建，历史悠久，距离首都一个小时车程。比赛目的旨在找出连接河流与市中心，提高河道利用率。评审委员会认为获奖方案最为全面的考虑各个方面，在连接历史中心与河流的同时，敏锐的插入新要素，并尊重河流的自然风貌。
The City of Trencin was looking for comprehensive urbanistic proposals for connecting the city centre with the river, making use of the space that is currently being transformed due to the modernisation and relocation of the City’s primary railway track.
特伦钦是瓦赫河流域的众多城市之一。20世纪30年代，人们开始修建堤坝以保护沿岸居住区的安全，然而美丽的河道风景随之慢慢消逝。景观设计师对直线型堤坝进行改造，让其边缘变得柔和自然，恢复河流的天然风貌，同时又保留其原有的保护功能。
我们将狭长的堤坝向两边延伸，修建特色广场、街道及河边步道。届时，形成的堤坝新景观会将河流南端和这座历史古城紧密连接起来。南部滨水区形成的连续的公共休闲娱乐空间将最大化地利用水景的动态效果。
经改造的铁路大桥成为南堤和北端河床景观的纽带，生态中心则是广阔湿地和水流缓冲区的交汇点。在这个系统内还修筑了一个超级堤坝，除了防洪作用外，该堤坝还新修了房屋、公园，成为瓦赫河和特伦钦市中生动的城市阳台。
Trencin is one city of many that is built in the Vah River basin. Since the 1930s the River Vah has become increasingly engineered and controlled to ensure the safety and protection of settlements along its banks. This has resulted in a city that has turned its back to an uninviting river landscape.
Our proposal resurrects the natural character of the River by bending the straight engineered levee walls to create a soft, pliable and programmed edge, while retaining its protective function.
This new levee landscape connects the south side of the river to the strong tissue of the historic city of Trencin, by extending its long, narrow block structure to develop a network of shifting and unique plazas, squares, streets and riverfront promenades. The southern waterfront forms a sequence of active recreational public spaces, maximizing the use of the dynamics of the water landscape.
Through the transformed railway bridge a strong and programmed connection is made from the dynamic south embankment to the more extensive landscape of the northern river bed. An ecological centre acts as a central info and meeting point within extensive wetlands and water buffering areas. Within this system a Super Dike is created, which combines water protection with new housing and parking and a vivid urban balcony towards the river and the historic city.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPETITION AND PRIZE
Mandaworks and Hosper Sweden have been awarded first prize in the open international urban design competition in Trencin, Slovakia. On May 19th, 2014 the results were announced. Mandaworks and Hosper were selected from 59 entrants to receive first prize and awarded € 30,000. The competition was organized by the City of Trencin with support from the Swiss-‐Slovak Cooperation Programme and financed by contributions from the Swiss Confederation and co-‐financed from the state budget of the Slovak Republic.
The city of Trencin (57,000 inhabitants) is a compact historic city on the River Váh, forming the administrative centre of Trencin Region and a natural landmark within the wider area. Strategically, the city is located on the border with the Czech Republic, within an hours’ drive from the capital city of Bratislava. The purpose of the competition was to find ways of connecting the city centre with the river and making use of
the space that is currently being transformed due to the modernisation and relocation of the City’s primary railway track.
This is a conceptual design that will become the basis for the master plan of the central urban area.
EXCERPT FROM JURY’S REPORT“[The proposal] best reflects all aspects of the competition and the award criteria. It’s a thoughuul proposal in regards to the existing structure of the historic center, sensitively placing of new buildings, and a tiuality connection to both sides of the [River] Vah. (…).Tracing Trencin creates tiuality links between the city and the river, while respecting the natural conditions of the river.”
Description of the Winning offices Mandaworks was founded in 2010 by Martin Arfalk. Hosper Sweden was founded in 2006 by Patrick Verhoeven. Mandaworks and Hosper Sweden have worked together for several years in close cooperation. The two offices main focus is landscape architecture and urban planning and have utilized this knowledge to develop a plauorm for urban design.
The proposal “TRACING Trencin”, included the following participants: Martin Arfalk, Patrick Verhoeven, Andrei Deacu, Danny Bridson, Maria Gregorio Puig, Carlos Dias, Nicholas Bigelow, and Chuhan Zhang.
