Spring 2014 | Professors Tim Heide and Verena von Beckerath | Master plan in collaboration with Emmanuel Ramirez and Peter Williamson

Assignment: create an urban master plan for the Dragonerareal site in Berlin, sensitive to the historical context, reactive to typological precedents, and considerate of existing infrastructures.

Solution: a quadripartite urban scheme divide among three building typologies and a new public green space. The typologies include courtyard, slab, and tower buildings.

Discussion: utilizing four distinct architectural devices, the slab, the tower, the courtyard, and the park, this redevelopment of the Dragonerareal creates unique and connective conditions within the Kreuzberg block. Understanding the stables as a connective tissue, adjacent buildings and programs work with the stables to provide a programmatic flow from one of  the development to another.
