Why a prism? It is one of the basic regular forms of human intelligence. In a city which is almost a palimpsest, the several levels of its history must be always present. But the basic shape of the prism is just the support for its meanings as a sign of time: it is an URBAN INTENSIFIER device. That is, a prism whose goal is to accelerate, improve, enhance the conscious of living in such a city.

Better traffic connections and mixing various functions attracts users to the new pilot lohas (lifestyle of health and sustainability) city hospital.

Am östlichen Rand des Areals General-von-Stein-Kaserne in einem Grünstreifen gelegen, wird das zukünftige Kinderhaus zum Drehpunkt zwischen zwei Wohnquartieren: der 1960er-Jahre-Siedlung im Osten und der geplanten Neubebauung auf dem Kasernengelände selbst. Der polygonale Zuschnitt des Grundstücks gibt im Hinblick auf das avisierte Raumprogramm und im Zusammenspiel mit erhaltenswertem Baumbestand verbindlichere Fluchten vor als die in gebührendem Abstand stehenden Bauten. Das Kinderhaus wird so zum freistehenden Pavillon hinter und zwischen den Bäumen.

Overlooking the landscape, a monolithic prism of concrete attempts to articulate the contradictions of the topography with a square top floor measuring 20m on each side balanced on top of a compact bottom floor measuring 8.5m on each side.

The urban plan (made in 2004-2006), suggests a differentiated structure, with a regular decrease in density starting from the town, all the way to farmland "emptiness". The green urban transition, expansion or extension of the low density area, is a gradual conversion from a built to a planted environment.
