Lively Brunsheide District, Leopoldshöhe

The landscape architectural concept was developed from an analysis of the site, the existing green structures, the special topographical location, and the
important transition between settlement and landscape:
Clearly structured neighborhoods are linked by neighborhood squares and the neighborhood park.

Sustainability / Environment / Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation I
Planning for the next 50 years must necessarily consider the consequences of global warming today. The urban and open space design concept combines various components of sustainable
neighborhood development, taking into account the requirements of climate protection and climate adaptation – from
building positioning to rainwater management, with the principle of collecting all urban
surface water and returning it to the natural cycles in as many different ways as possible, as delayed as possible, for example during heat waves. The high proportion of green space counteracts the heat island effect
and ensures a comfortable microclimate. Green roofs with PV systems complement an energy supply that is as renewable as possible. The goal is climate neutrality and sensitivity.

Drainage I
The surface gradient directs rainwater from the neighborhood zone superficially and decentrally to the
infiltration areas. The lowest point of these areas will be designed as a sealed evaporation area, allowing cooling of the microclimate even during drier periods. In the evaporation areas, moisture-loving perennials and grasses emphasize the seasonal changes in colors and textures. Even in the Brunsheide residential area, floodplain forest and agricultural landscapes remain present at every turn.
