Wohnen am Alexanderplatz
Berlin
International competition with pre-selection.
Selected in the group of the final five participants for the second part of the competition Wettbewerb Wohnen am Alexanderplatz. The competition site is a typical East German urban environment, the community gives the identity. The pretty big straight apartment slabs in their spacious green setting do not invite to meet each other. The urban implementation suggests to weave the new building into its context, using scale leaps on different urban levels, new routes and public space. The new routes and public space give a new identity to this neighbourhood. The three proposed apartment buildings are all diverse and the individual apartments are identifiable. The identification of the single apartment gives an individuality to its owner.
