"ATELIER NEUMARKT DRESDEN 2001".

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT FOR THE TRADITIONAL 
RECONSTRUCTION OF NEUMARKT (NEW MARKET), DRESDEN.

The "Gesellschaft Historischer Neumarkt Dresden" (Association for the Historic New Market Dresden), founded by the Berlin architect Rudiger Patzschke and others, invites architects to join an international project this spring to prepare designs for the traditional reconstruction of the Neumarkt in Dresden, bombed in 1945.

The INTBAU Research Project based at the Prince's Foundation, London, is assisting in organising the project.

The designs will be presented at an exhibition opening in Dresden on May 5, 2001.

Architects are invited to visit Dresden to see the site and  be briefed about the history of the city and the Neumarkt.  A group of architects will visit the city during the weekend March 30 - April 1, but visits can also be arranged at other times.  Participating architects will have to cover their own expenses.

Some important and well-documented historic buildings on Neumarkt are to be reconstructed to their original condition before the bombing of 1945. Architects participating in "Atelier Neumarkt Dresden 2001" are invited to make designs for new traditional buildings on other sites in the area.

During May, Gabriele Tagliaventi (A Vision of Europe, Bologna) will involve his students at the University of Ferrara in producing a plan for the whole Neumarkt area, based on the designs for individual buildings presented on May 5.  Architects are also invited to attend a charrette in Ferrara, around May 21. This project will be presented at another exhibition opening in Dresden June 15. 

If you are interested in attending the Dresden or Ferrara projects, please contact me, or Mrs Lucas in Berlin:   Tel. +49.30 412 141 or +47.30 832 40 12. Fax +49.30 88 412 223.

You can find more information about the reconstruction plans, including pictures of the area and a masterplan, on the "Vision of Europe" website:  www.avoe.org/dresden.html

Yours sincerely
