Introduction: 4 The Western City: dark, derelict and disused. Today we plan and tomorrow we regenerate. After the area was abandoned by Quelle and AEG the western city fell back into its past. In 1870 the area was empty. Once again the western city has no purpose. But there is still hope. The Comenius Project has been set the task of pulling the Western City out of yesterday into today and preparing it for tomorrow. We hope that all of our plans to create a more economic and,environmentally-friendly, beautiful Western City will one day become a reality and give the area in brighter tomorrow. The ideas of the group have incorporated three main features. Making the area greener is a priority in order to ensure that it will last into the future as a sustainable resource. Also, creating a new urban centre has been identified as an important issue and we feel that the western city could be this centre. Finally all of these ideas have been designed in a contemporary style to make the area appropriate for tomorrow. Ranald Nisbet

Aneta Stacherska 5 Wiederbelebung eines Monuments Mit dem Untergang des Versandhausriesen Quelle wurde nicht nur der Verlust tausender Arbeitsplätze besiegelt, sondern auch der Westteil Nürnbergs verlor an Bedeutung und Attraktivität für Industrie und Gesellschaft. Auf dem ebenfalls verlassenen AEG – Gelände hat die Revitalisierung des Industriegebiets bereit begonnen. Dort entstanden einige Ateliers, ein Restaurant, ein paar Firmen zogen wieder ein und sogar eine Bar gibt es. Die Aufgabe des Comenius Projekts war es, die Weststadt aus der Vergangenheit des Ruins ins Heute der Wiederauferstehung zu holen und auf zukünftige Zeiten vorzubereiten. Für dieses Ziel arbeiteten wir in sieben international zusammengestellten Gruppen á vier Personen an der Neugestaltung einzelner Gebäude und Plätze. Wir betrachteten Luftbilder und Masterpläne in die wir Ideen einzeichneten und separat Skizzen anfertigten. Abschließend erstellten wir viele kleine Modelle, die wir zu einem Gesamtmodell vereinten. Alle Modelle zeigten, dass der Grundgedanke für die Neugestaltung des AEG / Quelle Areals, Grünflächen, öffentliche Plätze und eine Kombination von Neu und Alt, gut verinnerlicht wurde.

Initial ideas were sketched before 3D modelling techniques were applied 7

A mind-mapping session enabled pupils to gather ideas relating to the AEG/Quelle in the Weststadt area of Nuremberg 8

A series of models were created taking into consideration possible forms which could be added to existing architectural structures 9

10

A rooftop pool, café, museum or glass-domed museum were some of the more unusual designs 11

Pupils explored possible sporting, recreational and garden areas within the existing AEG spaces 12

Green spaces, interconnecting walkways and solar power were considered 13

Organic free-flowing lines and curves could add a pleasing aesthetic 14

Dynamic lighting and recreational areas for young people were an important element 15

The Quelle tower could be redesigned to create more impact within the urban context. 16

Pupils presented their models incorporating ideas linked to a sustainable, more environmentally-friendly urban centre transforming the disused Quelle and AEG in the Weststadt area of Nuremberg 17
