Chemin des Carrières, the Quarries’ Track, is a lace undulating in the landscape, an invitation to travel as our ambition behind the reconquest of the Rosheim-St Nabor railway in Alsace, France. Ominous, sometimes hidden, the vestiges of the railway still mark the reading of the site. The desire to create a route to serve the quarries had to adapt to the undulating landscapes of the sub-Vosges hills and the very form of the tracing tells the history of the landscape and the men. The journey to discover forgotten landscapes or to take a dierent view on everyday landscapes is addressed to both local users and tourists. Like the old track that oered a dual function (industrial and passenger transport), the route has a double vocation where the functional must rub shoulders with the imaginary of travel. Along the 11km path goes a story, which the stops split into four chapters of dierent sequences of landscapes oering varied universes and highlighting remarkable sites. Unusual elements punctuate the way, aiming at awakening the visitor’s senses, and water is encountered repeatedly.
Aberrant Architecture proposes the creation of an installation devoted to free play in Intermediae. Inspired by the architectural language of the great Dutch playground designer Aldo van Eyck (1918-99), Landscape for Play is a leisure-based proposal that shifts the shapes of the surrounding city to an interior space. To the question of how we can transform the urban space through play, Aberrant Architecture replies with structures, shapes and colours that invite children of all ages to use this new place in an imaginative way. The resulting interior landscape is composed of follies, crevices and different elevations which, although they make up a fantastic territory that Registered Office: 145-157 St John Street London EC1V 4PY. Registered in England No.06483693 can be used by the communities that come to Intermediae each day, don't impose rigid restrictions in terms of how people must behave. This flexibility also means that the playground can be used as a setting for a range of activities during the months when it will be open.
Construction on the Loop of Wisdom has officially begun and is scheduled to be finished in September 2019. Designed by Powerhouse Company as part of the Unis Chip City in Chengdu, China, the Loop will showcase the ambitions of the city of Chengdu and the Unis Group.

The unique design reflects the great traditions of Chinese culture as well as three key elements that define the masterplan development: people, nature and technology.
PIXELAND is a public space beautification comprising a combination of different outdoor facilities in a single space, such as landscape features, playscape features for kids and leisure features for adults.
The project is inspired by the digital concept of pixels. While a pixel is the smallest independent sample of an image with its own RGB or CMYK color information, it is the combination of numerous pixels what results in any given digital image.
Located in Odessa, Ukraine the Jeanne Labourbe Park is a transit space between historic residential area at the level of a plateau and Primorskaya Street lying along the foot of the hill, which is a main road of a predominantly industrial dock-side district. For decades the Park situated on a hillside remains an abandoned and unsafe place.
The main purpose of the project is to develop the recreational and entertaining role of the Park, while preserving the elements of the unique historical environment, wildlife and the landscape.
To engage the public deep into the Park we propose a set of magnets – various points of attraction for every target audience: e.g. playgrounds, sports grounds, an open-air theater, places for cultural actions, exhibitions spaces, observation decks, recreation areas as well as public amenities and lavatories.
Timeless architecture is the philosophy of Mecanoo & MAYU’s design for the National Taiwanese Archive: a building that hosts the memory and the collective identity.
The National Archives building is composed of two volumes: one that extends horizontally, forming a large canopy, protecting the ground floor, establishing the relation interior-exterior; the other, a perfect cube, landed on top of the horizontal volume.
Following its clear shape, the building is also organized in two zones: the public and the restrict access areas. The public zone is located in the east part of the site, connected to Wenhuayi road, while the restrict access area is organized on the west part.
The Lukiškės square began to form in the green suburb of Vilnius. The image of the territory of the city center has changed considerably during the history. With the intensification of the surrounding settlement, the trapezoidal shape of the space was evident, buildings of substancial architectural stylistic emerged. The functionality of the space has changed: broad suburban fields, used for market place, gradually decreased. The introduction of tree planting lines in space perimeter resulted in the appearance of representativeness. During the tsarist occupation of Russia, the space was used even for the demonstration in 1863. rebellious execution. During the Polish times, military parades were being retrieved here, and in the Soviet era the territory was turned into an ideologically stalled square in front of the KGB’s palace, a Lenin monument was built. After Lithuania restored it‘s independence, dismantling of the sculpture, symbolized the final victory of freedom.
archi5 was founded in 2003, the fruit of its founders’ common agency experience and the approach they share to architecture.
A context-based approach to projects is key : the site, the programme, the social and cultural challenges are all examined, analyzed and compared. These data are then transformed into questions.
The projects offer a dynamic and comprehensive response to those issues to the highest standard that has come to be archi5’s trademark.

The project was organized by Claudia Ebert (Budersand Hotel), Sven Paulsen (Adler Shipping), Arne Weber (HC Hagemann) and Peter Ewaldsen (mussel fishers’ representative) in cooperation with the Hörnum municipality. In addition to its key commercial role, the harbor is an important tourist attraction in the municipality. In 2016, the northern and southern moles had to be blocked off because they were at risk of collapsing – with a serious impact on their commercial use and on tourism.
