THE CONCEPT heritage
CITY IN MOTION
Modular Architecture Cranes
Train Tracks
Port
As the Danube, Motion City isn’t permanent, it’s in constant movement, evolving as the site did throughout history.

THE MODULES Our modules are produced ON SITE, in a factory which is located in the CENTRE OF THE PLOT.
Modules are then transported to their location by GANTRY CRANES which use 3 pairs of the existing train tracks
FORTRESS
“Offers space for existing companies which would like to open working points in Komarno, while the port area becomes a modular HUB for start-ups, housing and services”

RELATIONSHIP with the river
zoning
UNIQUE SELLING POINT The investors have the possibility to revise their investment as our city isn’t permanent
VARIABLE DENSITY It can be restored to the original state relatively easily if things don’t work out
LANDSCAPE HERITAGE
Our approach to the fortress:
- We give it a new function (office spaces for tech companies) - We connect it to the river - We let it breathe
Our approach to the PORT:
We keep the heritage elements (cranes, some of the train tracks) We keep the idea of the port
modularity modules moved by cranes
artand architectural heritage We change the image of Komarno seen from the Danube Is that good? Is that a problem? That’s why we let the older fortress to be seen from the river
The fortress itself is pretty low It is hard not to block it Our waterfront may be too chaotic
socio-cultural heritage The port is used to block the city from the riverside
Our intervention hands back the river to the citizens With our intervention we revive the idea of the old Darรกnyi park
heritage defined by the economy of the danube The port used to be the economic driving force of the city As its almost unused today, it doesn’t have a huge impact on the economy of the city we keep the cranes as monuments of this past era
By attracting START-UPS and tech companies we revitalize the economy of the city, but this new economy will only be loosely related to the river.
