The competition entry made by Christ & Gantenbein and Fontana Landschaftsarchitektur for Liestal\u2019s Postplatz was the winning one in 2016 not least because of its idea of a park by the water. The new post-office building facing Bahnhofsplatz made the necessary space available to liberate the Orisbach from its pipes and transform it into the blue heart of a small urban park that is simultaneously an attractive slow-transport axis and connection between the station and the old town.<\/p>\n
The project has since been made concrete. The building has been given new dimensions, while the park and the slow-transport axes were shifted further to the core of the plans. In June 2018 the town of Liestal presented the current state of affairs to the residents. The consultation process is to begin at the end of 2018. The goal is to have the plans for the Orisbach redevelopment approved by 2020. The outside space will play a significant role here. Fontana Landschaftsarchitektur would be pleased to make the new blue and green heart of Liestal a reality. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In 2016 Fontana Landschaftsarchitektur won the competition to redesign Liestal\u2019s Postplatz square. As part of the construction of the new replacement building for the post office, the green corridor created by the Orisbach \u2013 currently channelled through pipes and partially covered by parking spaces \u2013 is to be given a new lease of life as an attractive connection between the station and the old town. The revised project has now been converted into a plan for the quarter and presented to the residents. The consultation process is to begin at the end of 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9549,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n
