Identifying a town-planning strategy for Pian Scairolo, the
main commercial-industrial area of the urban conglomeration of Lugano with
a view to developing an attractive modern business loop.
After the positive experiences of the international town-planning competition
for the Cornaredo district in 2004 (for a progress report on the work carried
out to date, please visit www.cornaredo.ch),
the Town of Lugano is launching a competition along with the communes of
Barbengo, Collina d'Oro and Grancia and the regional spatial planning department
(Dipartimento del territorio) to replan the largest commercial-industrial
urban area of Canton Ticino, which currently provides over 5,000 jobs with
a turnover of more than one billion Swiss francs.
The urban conglomeration of Lugano is among the largest economic urban centres
in Switzerland. With this competition it aims to identify an innovative
concept for what is to become a hub of economic development in the Ticino
region.
The competition procedure involves a preselection process: applications
will be processed, and up to fifteen groups will be invited to the main
stage of the anonymous competition.
The prize money amounts to SFr.200,000 (approx. EUR125,000). Applicants
must submit a dossier by the entry deadline of 21 January 2008. The competition
itself will begin on 17 March 2008 and will close upon delivery of the work
at the end of May 2008. The procedure involves the participation
of international interdisciplinary teams, and applicants must be willing
to accept additional mandates from the party inviting tenders.
