lala.ruhr – imagine green urban futures
In the project “Imagine Green Urban Futures”, the lala.ruhr initiative and the Places _ VR Festival want to work together with innovative urban designers to discover new possibilities for making cities, streets, buildings and open spaces better and more sustainable. With the help of augmented reality technology (AR), we want to show on site how a city can change positively.

Competition for urban designers
Competition for urban designers
We are looking for tech-savvy (landscape) architects, urban planners, designers and innovators of all kinds to develop their vision for a 120-year-old street in Gelsenkirchen based on existing 3D data. The 3D models will then be converted into an AR application by our technology partner cityscaper and can be explored by visitors at the Places _ VR Festival (17 & 18.09.2021) via smartphone or tablet.
- You submit your application with the selected street section of Bochumer Straße.
- A jury of experts selects three participants/teams
- You will receive an allowance of 1.000€ and will work on your vision for one month.
- Visitors to the Places _ VR Festival can experience your vision live in augmented reality on 17 & 18 September 2021.
What is lala.ruhr?
The laboratory for the landscape of the ruhr metropolis
lala.ruhr is dedicated to an integrated view of the transformation of the urban landscape of the Ruhr region, where people, buildings and landscape are symbiotic, resilient and sustainable, offering a high quality of life. A creative laboratory space is being created in which ideas and innovative concepts for the future of the Metropole Ruhr are discussed and developed under the guiding principle of a productive landscape. We promote exchange across geographical and intellectual boundaries. We bundle and network the region’s potential in an international context.
Participants
The Berlin agency pimento formate, with its team led by managing director Elle Langer, would like to focus on edutainment for sustainability and playfully inspire people to articulate their ideas for green house facades, locations for urban gardening and the like and to record them with the help of self-shot augmented reality stories (AR).
The team from the Cologne office Greenbox Landschaftsarchitekten, led by Felix Brennecke, applied with the idea of thinking urban planning vertically with the help of an AR application and thus using the street or urban space on several levels.
Anja Cambria Oellermann, a scenographer from Hamburg, wants to use AR to promote the discovery of the environment, for example by showing changes in the city’s nature when it rains.
- Section 1: Bochumer Straße 85 – 93 will be redesigned by Team pimento formate.
- Section 2: Bochumer Straße 95 – 110 will be redesigned by Anja Cambria Oellermann.
- Section 3: Bochumer Straße 112 – 130 will be redesigned by Team GREENBOX.
- Section 4: Bochumer Straße 132 – 148a the visitors themselves have the opportunity to make Bochumer Straße greener.
