BURA EXPERTISE #3

03 februari 2025

Deel

At BURA we work on a sustainable future and we focus on the urban environment. As an office for urbanism and landscape architecture we use design and research to solve complex urban problems. Over the last 10 years the office developed expertise in a variety of fields related to urgent societal and spatial assignments.

This week we focus on ‘Rich and layered places’.
BURA works within existing cities, towns and villages. Their development and transformation form a continuous process. We are interested in the unique identity of every site and so we start from the existing qualities and build upon the context and its inhabitants. Existing buildings transform and provide space for changing activities, characteristic spatial elements are preserved, and new additions enrich the character of the place. It is by cherishing the rich history of a place and adding a contemporary layer we preserve and enhance heritage for the future. We come up with sensible spatial development strategies to make this possible, applying a tabula scripta approach. We act with the understanding that everything we do affects future generations. The result is an experience of the different time layers on sites that are interwoven with their surroundings. This is how we work on a liveable city – for today and tomorrow.
