Rulmentul Industrial Site, Brașov
Open design competition for the urban regeneration of the former Industrial Platform Rulmentul in Romania, to create a retrofitted cultural centre and public realm.
The Romanian Order of Architects (OAR) with the support of the Brașov, Covasna, Harghita Territorial Branch of the OAR, together with the Contracting Authority - Brașov Municipality, officially announces the launch of the "Rulmenthal, Brașov" International Solutions Competition. The purpose of this competition is to select the best solution for the urban regeneration of the former Industrial Platform Rulmentul, in order to award the design contract. Urban regeneration is a large-scale and long-lasting process that requires an integrated, multidisciplinary and phased approach.
The former Industrial Platform Rulmentul is one of the most important real estate reserves of the city, with an area comparable to that of the Old Citadel of Brașov - approximately 52 hectares. Through the successive transformations to which it was subjected throughout the 20th century, the location is a direct witness of the significant moments that mark the industrial past of the city, thereby becoming an identity, affective and historical landmark for the generations that knew the industrial platform during the activity. However, the location is not really present in the daily lives of the citizens of Brașov today, given the complete cessation of production activity since 2007. Since then, in the absence of concrete regeneration actions, the platform is in an accelerated process of degradation, which leads to significant losses, some of which are irreversible.
The competition proposes several objectives that address the complexity of the existing situation at three complementary scales. By achieving these objectives, several directions of transformation of the Platform will be simultaneously triggered.
Consequently, the Contracting Authority pursues through this tender the urban regeneration of the Industrial Platform Rulmentul Brașov, through:
- establishing a medium and long-term urban development vision for the regeneration of the Rulmentul Industrial Platform
- the development of a green / public space with an area of approximately 11 hectares, including the development of the unbuilt areas, but also the development of the existing buildings in the indicated perimeter, which will be designed to become the main nucleus of the entire complex, being able to connect future functions located around the perimeter
- rehabilitation of some buildings with a certain patrimonial value (Hangar Complex 6) and their transformation into a cultural center.
