Both approaches conceive the Allmend as a continuous urban open space, preserving its characteristic generosity and openness while introducing clearly defined edges and coherent spatial structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed <em>Allmendhaus<\/em> is envisioned as a multifunctional building that consolidates public programmes and integrates parking within a structured architectural framework. In the <em>Landscape Park<\/em> variant, parking is relocated underground in order to enhance the spatial continuity and overall quality of the open space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these strategies represent a significant step towards the long-term development of a distinctive and resilient metropolitan open space for the City of Bern. We extend our sincere thanks to Stadtgr\u00fcn Bern \/ Stadt Bern for initiating and moderating the highly constructive public events, and we look forward to further refining the proposals in response to the diverse contributions generated through the participatory process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Team Vulkan:<\/strong><br>Marcel J\u00e4ggi<br>Ferdinand Pappenheim<br>Nora Moser<br>Joelle Zimmerli<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bern.ch\/themen\/planen-und-bauen\/stadtentwicklung\/freiraumentwicklung\/neuordnung-allmenden\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bern.ch\/themen\/planen-und-bauen\/stadtentwicklung\/freiraumentwicklung\/neuordnung-allmenden\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">More about the project!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio Vulkan has developed two complementary strategies\u2014Open Landscape and Landscape Park\u2014that reconceive Bern\u2019s Allmend as a continuous metropolitan open space, integrating a multifunctional Allmendhaus and restructured parking solutions to enhance spatial quality, continuity, and long-term urban resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":19443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"class_list":["post-19447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-competition"],"acf":{"image_size":"medium","width":"wide"},"translations":{"en":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/2026\/02\/18\/making-space-for-the-future-our-vision-for-the-allmenden-in-bern\/","de":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/2026\/02\/18\/raum-fuer-die-zukunft-unsere-vision-fuer-die-allmenden-in-bern\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19447"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21272,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19447\/revisions\/21272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
