Toftegårds Plads Syd
13.03.2008
Åpen internasjonal idékonkurranse
Toftegårds Plads Syd har i en årrække ligget stort set uudnyttet hen, og i sin nuværende form lever den slet ikke op til, at området er en af de vigtigste og mest markante porte til byen. Københavns Kommune har på den baggrund besluttet at igangsætte en konkurrence med det formål at få ideer til, hvordan der kan skabes et levende, menneskeligt og pulserende byrum af arkitektonisk høj kvalitet. Konkurrencen lægger op til at der også kan foreslås nyt byggeri eller andre former for overdækninger og konstruktioner på pladsen. Under alle omstændigheder skal det være en plads, som kan understøtte den udvikling, der er ved at gøre den sydlige del af Valby til et af Københavns mest interessante områder. Den samlede præmiesum er på 750.000 DKK med en eller flere førstepræmier på min. 150.000 DKK.
Tidsfrist for mottak av tilbud: 01.04.2008
Premiesum: 750.000 DKK
