Doire Masterplan – 2nd place of cities of tomorrow competition
Doire masterplan, a city beyond the troubles
Summary
The project explores the regeneration of the city of Derry / Londonderry in Northern Ireland. It is a visionary reimagining of the city that aims to tackle the divided nature of the city’s landscape, ecology, and cultural beliefs through proposed infrastructure spines and nodes.
Jury Comment
« We were impressed by the project’s courage in grappling with the legacy of war, asking how a city can be rebuilt not only physically but socially. Starting from the reality of deep divisions, it poses a vital question of how communities live together, and turns that political ambition into tangible spatial strategies. The careful attention to community needs and everyday encounters reflects a thoughtful and humane approach. It is an inspiring vision that treats infrastructure as common ground supporting reconciliation. »
