The competitors were asked to restructure the former trade port inÂto a so called SciÂence Port as a destination for innovative businesses and a place for knowledge transfer.
From the competition brief: “The UniÂverÂsiÂty [of Magdeburg], reÂsearch inÂstiÂtutes, colÂlege, leiÂsure faÂcilÂiÂties and creÂaÂtive comÂpaÂnies have all crept one step closÂer to the dock and its wareÂhousÂes, whose backÂdrop is the picÂturesque bank of the RivÂer Elbe. What is needÂed now are new ideas and, above all, the exÂpeÂriÂences gathered in other EuÂroÂpean ciÂties, so that adÂdiÂtioÂnÂal proÂjects can be maÂteÂrialÂized and the viÂsion of a viÂtal sciÂence quarÂter can be made a reÂalÂiÂty as an inÂteÂgral part of the ciÂty.”
