CURG 2021 — concrete and the woods

SUSTAINABLE DISTRICT IN FRIBOURG
Quartier durable a Fribourg

The new Fribourg-Bourguillon district aims to blend the natural environment with the urban space by allowing forest flora (and fauna) to penetrate the site. The building design will facilitate this connection, and the extensive use of indigenous wood will minimize the district's carbon footprint.

Le nouveau quartier de Fribourg-Bourguillon vise à intégrer l'environnement naturel à l'espace urbain en permettant à la flore (et à la faune) forestière de pénétrer sur le site. La conception des bâtiments facilitera cette connexion et l'utilisation intensive du bois local minimisera l'empreinte carbone du quartier.

CATW

Concrete And The Woods is an architectural practice based in Switzerland. As careful observers of a mutating planet and society, we work in the production of meaningful spaces for the times that come. We design from the village of Préverenges but we like to build at every latitude.
