架构师提供的文本描述。巴扬塔尔科隆地区是一个寻找身份的邻里，19世纪中叶建立时，它是一个由科隆机械建筑公司(科隆机械建筑公司)主导的工业区，主要由科隆机械建筑公司(K inische Maschinenbau Aktienge-sellschaft)主导。这家公司实际上是当时德国工程和钢铁技术的骄傲，建造了几座莱茵河大桥，建造了科隆大教堂的屋顶，以及科隆第一个主要火车站的屋顶，凭借其领先的制造业和享有盛名的项目，贝恩塔尔是当时德国的高科技中心之一。

Text description provided by the architects. The Cologne area of Bayenthal is a neighborhood in search for an identity.When established in the middle of the 19th century, it was an industrial area that was dominated by the Kölnische Maschinenbau Aktienge- sellschaft, (Cologne Mechanical Construction Company.) This company was in fact the pride of German engineering and steel technology at its time, building amongst others several Rhine bridges, the roof construction of the Cologne Cathedral for its completion, and the roof of Cologne’s first main railway station.With its leading manufacturing and prestigious projects the company, and hence the neighborhood of Bayenthal was one of the high-tech hubs of its time in Germany.

不过，该公司不仅是一家制造业工厂，还在从事投机性房地产交易。多年来，它获得的土地远远超过了工厂和工厂所需的土地，并且遵循了两个看似矛盾的空间策略。在工厂大院的北面，它留下了大片土地，造成了人为的住房短缺，因此要求工人从自己拥有的住房中获得更高的租金。在工厂大院的西面，它寻求开发一个小别墅区来管理公司，以及科隆的其他高收入居民。

The company though was not only a manufacturing factory, it was also pursuing speculative real estate deals. Over years it had acquired far more land than it needed for its factories and o ces, and followed two seemingly contradictive spatial strategies.To the north of the factory compound, it left large areas undeveloped to create an artificial housing shortage, and hence demand higher rent from the worker’s housing it owned. To the west of the factory compound it sought the development of a small villa area for the management of the company, and other high earning residents of Cologne.

该公司的命运在第一次世界大战后下降，即使它在第二次世界大战的轰炸中幸存下来，它最终还是在1970年关闭了。取而代之的是建造了一个大的中等收入的住宅，完全改变了Bayenthal的特征，从一个工业的住宅转变为一个完全的住宅，尽管它是一个非常异质的住宅，虽然这个小区占据着邻居的主导地位，但工人阶级结构和居民基本上没有受到影响，就像西方的别墅一样。今天，Bayenthal仍然是科隆最具异质性的社区之一。高达20层的高层建筑坐落在历史别墅、工人住宅、工业仓库和当代公寓楼旁。你是如何在城市环境中设计的，就像这样多样化？你是否与你的隔壁邻居有关联，或者我们能塑造出一种建筑设计，它能够在自身周围创造一个新的身份，同时特别考虑到Bayenthal的本质？

The fate of the company declined after World War I. And even though it survived the bombing of World War II it finally closed in 1970. In its place a large middle-income housing estate was constructed, completely transforming the character of Bayenthal from an industrial to a fully residential, though a very heterogeneously one.While the housing estate dominates the neighbor- hood, the working class structure – and inhabitants – have largely survived relatively untouched, just as the villas to the West. Today, Bayenthal is still one of the most heterogenous neighborhoods of Cologne. High-rise buildings with up to twenty floors sit next to historical villas, workers housing, industrial warehouses, and contemporary apartment buildings. How do you design in an urban context, as diverse as this? Do you relate to your next door neighbor, or can we shape an architectural design that has the power to create a new identity around itself, while taking specifically the nature of Bayenthal into account?
