2013 IBA HAMBURG – WATER TECHNOLOGY AND WATER SPACE
Abstract
Hamburg has been recognized as a world-class innovation centre, indicating the direction of urban ecological solutions in the 21st century. It is the only city in Germany where water is so much a part of local identity. The recent achievements of water technology and designs of water spaces represent a change in spatial thinking and action which can be seen at Internationale Bauausstellung (International Building Exhibition) IBA Hamburg 2006-2013 and Internationale Gartenschau (International Garden Show) IGS Hamburg 2013. Due to this event a new park in Wilhelmsburg was created for city-dwellers. This part of Hamburg is now creating a harmonious water space. As a result the quality of life has improved. The results of these efforts show transformation of neglected urban space in a sustainable way so that is not only attractive for people but also environmentally-friendly. The study of water technology and water space involves a number of ways and methods. It has become particularly important when the latest technologies and concepts on shaping water areas can be applied to create city space. This paper shows possibilities of using water in various forms, leaving it open for further research in this topic. The analysis, in situ of city space in Hamburg, from different points of view, including water technology and water space aspects is shown. The new way of shaping space with water and green-water technologies can be included in the design practice of cities. The usage of water in different forms gives on the one hand various of technical solution and on the other hand a lot of urban and architectural possibilities of creation. Due to this, technologically advanced green-water space solutions have become a very important way of shaping cities.
