Nijmegen Peninsula by Baca architects

The historic Fort Knodsenburg is brought back to life, for the 21st century. New earthworks will elevate, instead of excavating the plan of this historic monument. A giant living roof will extend over a new public square and activity centre for the island. The green roof provides an elevated bridge between the development and nature aspects of the island, and terrific vantage point to view Nijmegen, the Waal and beyond.

Directly over the square a 3000 m2 array of solar PVs will allow dappled light down onto the square and power to the homes on the island.

Viewed from the square a floating stage will be used for performances and events at certain times of the year, with a giant extending screen elevated from the deck.
