Liesing is a district without a centre. Liesing could act as a transitional zone between Vienna and Lower Austria. Liesing should not become or remain a controlled in-door district in the town centre. Intensity should make possible the desire to realize a potential city.
Principle 1: The region as a part of a Global system: The fractal city structure that we are proposing should create urbanity through a dynamic sequence of topographical interventions. The proposed city model will not be defined through hierarchically organised parts or functionally distinct zoning principles. IntenCity sequences itself into a multidimensional net which stretches interactively between the two poles of the history and the future of the site. The story of the site - the reprogramming of the site – discoveries - new meanings.
Principle 2: The city as a dynamic and complex structure.: The fascination of artificial and natural `theme-park` worlds in a topographical architecture that makes no distinction between either inside and outside, and even less between the separation of consumption and experience. The proposed urban space combines movement and time in a very special way. In intencity, one can transcend from one state of existence to another. Illusions, emotions, real and imag-ined moments in time.
Principle 3: The site as a generator of networks: The proposed differentiated city is imperfect and craves for an open process of continual transformation. Levels of acceleration and the superimposition of different flows. The net created by a three-dimensional matrix is the construct of a global fragment that is independent of space and function, and which has the means to activate the unique characteristics of a site.
Principle 4: Ecological urbanity as a basis for social sustainability: The objectives of the project are to reinforce heterogeneity, and to give the individual parts a definite identity; thereby creating a coherent and readable entity. In order to handle the complexity of the de-mands imposed on the city organism, while at the same time avoiding disturbance, areas of interven-tion have to be defined with specific uses, and then appropriate spatial configurations applied.
