Director Fiona Scott was invited by the Fritz Schumacher Gesellschaft to speak in Hamburg for the final event in a series of lectures at the Architektur Salon Hamburg titled MAGISTRALEN, which coincide with the launch of the city’s Magistralen Masterplan. 

Hamburg’s Magistralen are a series of important arterial roads, and the masterplan aims to turn them into more vibrant urban spaces. Main roads are the spatial backbone in Hamburg and a key focus of the urban development in the coming decades.

Fiona presented thoughts from Gort Scott’s analysis of urban blocks and streets, ideas on what makes a good high street building based on our public, workspace and community building projects, our Old Oak masterplan, civic buildings and housing.
