Kein Land fr alte Mnner is a bet on Mnsterlanders. Kein Land

fr alte Mnner is a toolbox of territorial strategies, urban

planning and architectural vision on how local inhabitants must

understand and learn from their environment in order to better

manage their own resources. They are our key component to face

the upcoming energetic, economic and social challenges for the

next decades.

New defeats are right ahead German society, some of them

related to the obsolescence of certain old structures. The urban

settlements from the 60-70s are meant to be the hinge between

past and future. Within the brick walls of those houses lies the

most recent lesson of this society: the social and urban models

inherited from them are gone. Beyond those walls there is a large

knowledge to be awaken and ready to be shared. The dialogue

between old and new generations needs to happen outdoors, at

contemporary meeting points where to shape and develop new

strategies all together.

AHAUS

We are supplying a social sustainable process of densification for

the Innenstadt Oost. The change in the urban regulation wants to

make the blocks more flexible in order to host more houses.

Current residents can chose to remain in their own homes, to

extend them or to build or sell new building surfaces. The partial

lost of garden surface is compensate with double benefits: better

public/collective courtyards and economical benefits to improve

energetic systems in the future.

Accessibility is been provided, ground floor dwellings would be

always desirable for elderly. Homes that are left from old people

can be retrofitted and improved, new owners would find suitable

houses with flexible typologies at affordable prices and very

conveniently located.

The retrofitted environment would become attractive for new

investors, public investment is required only in the first phases

trying to consolidate a meaningful space directly connected withthe school and a future civic centre oriented into elderly which

can become attractor for the rest of the city and urban link to the

inner-city.

DORSTEN

The main ambition for Barkenberg is to achieve a mixed society.

A system of housing-share would provide reasonable housing

costs to young people. Elderly who are hosting them would

received at the same time assistance and care. There is a

solidarity exchange of services by the guest and some financial

income for the host. Both generations are coming together to

share certain mutual services, increasing permeability between

two very age elongated sectors of society.

These resulting structures would perceived their neighbourhoods

as extension of their homes. Once the idea of sharing is attached

to people they would be able to think in a broader way, trying to

invest their own resources in new sustainable ways of energy

source. Geothermal energy is proposed as an example of this

collective energetic systems.

Sdkirchen

Sdkirchen main topic is how to avoid monofounctionality for thefuture. Two strategies are provided to face the steady situation,

which might turn into certain growth in two decades. Our proposal

is based in a more rational land structure.

First strategy defines vacant houses and lots as reservations for

future urban infill, allowing shared and temporarily use of them

until they get occupied for new buildings. Potential densification

and private investment is allow to keep and increase population

within the contour of the current urban shape.

Second strategy focuses in how to deal with future growth on the

landscape. Agricultural areas around the village feel the pressure

of possible urban growths. New settlements would be allowed inthose properties under restricted conditions. Inspired by the old

land structure and farm typologies we introduce a system of co-

ownership of the future homes. It would be required that at least a

third of the housing would be owned by the municipality, a second

third by associations such as the School of Business of

Nordkirchen Schools and last third would be up to private ownersand citizens that associated in baugruppen (building groups) to

develop their own houses. To retain activity and activate land use

besides agriculture, some business-atelier space related with the

local entrepreneurship would be also desired. Coordinated by a

local business incubator in the activity area.
