The urban development at the the Buckower fields, interrelates the different urban structures and scales of the neighbourhood. The design mediates between the large-scale settlement structure, the single-family houses and the wide open fields. The spatial backbone of this hybrid neighbourhood is formed by a sequence of squares and a meandering path. The squares and the path let the autonomous areas face and define each other. The locally existing potential of the different scales and lifestyles is turned into a new identity by moderating these scales and lifestyles through the public space.
