project year: | 2010 |
attended: | Prof. Alexander Schwarz, David Chipperfield Architects |
type: | urban design, housing, art-gallery |
collaboration: | Ilja Maksimov |
Between Auguststraße, Linienstraße, Rosenthaler Straße and Joachimstraße, there is a typical peace of Berlin.
A perimeter block development with an ambivalent pattern and good social intermix. But there are gaps, borders and derelict land.
Fixing the situation by cautiously “setting stones”, towers with different characters or rather different urbanistic functions come into being.
These functions range from high profile to local privateness.
Height of construction and structual level are
taken from the more important existing building next to the empty building lot, which is our startingpoint for all interventions, too.
