ncp carpark take note




Paasdorf is a small street village in Lower Austria where the Architects, feld72 was to position 'Kulturlandschaft Paasdorf' (an art project that is known far beyond the borders of Austria) by means of a symbol on the village square. Their concept was to bring together synergetically two formative components: everyday (local population) and attention (visitors). As you would expect, the square alters its appearance according to the needs both during the day and the seasons. Hence, the village square and car park are not separated into single functional zones but blend together to create a unity that can be read and used in a variety of ways. When not occupied by a car almost every parking space is something else – whether it be a wooden terrace , a flat pool of water, a play area, seating, an urban topography.
