General Comments The competiton poses a highly complex and difficult question. The restriction to use the bridge as project site narrows down the solutions to - in the best case- intelligent and technical design solutions. Because of that many of the projects don’t reflect on the question of migration politics, social challenges, and the real problems beyond the architectural solution. To evaluate the projects my priority was to look for a basic reflection on the migration situation and the related design challenge and a the basic idea of the project related to this reflection. The further development of the project has to be coherent to this idea and the design outcome has to reflect somehow the values of the idea. The criteria of proper representation helps to understand the idea and the development. Not the best looking image is the winner, but the most coherent graphic language and argumentation line. The compliance of the room program I don’t consider relevant in this stage of design, so all the project have the same evaluation. Particular comment all said above.
The zoning appears to be random, generating ambiguity in the understanding of the whole. The concept of mobile track design is not rigorously developed and on the whole it appears fortuitous and impractical.
