Townscape Redevelopment Telfs
Architecture: Architekturhalle Wulz-König (2006-2007) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Telfs Open to the public: yes Accessibility: Several streets along Obermarkt, resp., Untermarktstraße
The goal of the redevelopment was to transform the town center, strongly impacted by traffic in the past, into a publically usable space with amenity qualities. By reducing the road width, space for wider sidewalks and plaza-like extensions were created, which were designed with granite plates of different sizes. Information points, fountains, benches, rows of trees and plant and flower beds structure the street space; a lighting concept ensures that the various areas are more or less brightly illuminated according to their significance.
