Official Course Description:
Student realisation competition" Transformation Monument Bridgehead Hammer Railway Bridge" Rhine Meadows Neuss/NRW
Majestically and proudly, the architectural monument of the bridgehead as a testimony to the 1st Hammer railway bridge of 1870 rises as a striking industrial landmark from the river and nature area of the Rhine between Düsseldorf and Neuss.
The two slender bridge towers rise from a 40-metre-long and 20-metre-high platform with elegant arch structures, visible from afar for 40 metres. The architectural monument, the Hammer railway bridge, as a significant architectural sculptural landmark with a high recognition and identity value, is to be transformed into a demonstrator, "ambassador", laboratory and place of experimentation for climate and structural change. The goal is to develop a minimally invasive, energetically self-sufficient, climate-neutral, flexible in use and light as well as smart spatial construct as well as versatile use scenarios and to realise it structurally between 2024 and 2025.
The design process, similar to the Solar Decathlon projects, is therefore conceived as a multi-stage student realisation competition that will experimentally test the use of AI in architecture in the first phase. The student team will receive professional advice from competent interdisciplinary experts from the fields of landscape architecture, structural planning, monument protection, representatives of the Neuss 2026 State Garden Show, art, etc. within the framework of a highly innovative real laboratory for climate and structural change.
