Project:
Elements
Year:
2016 – ongoing
Location:
Berlin, Germany
“Elements” is a revitalizing sustainable mixed-use development on the Spree River in Berlin which reactivates a central neighborhood with urban culture, music production, new working, digital initiatives and collaborative housing. Community involvement and access to commons as public spaces on the river bank are key factors for the success of the project. The conceptual framework for the architecture refers to the elements of water, fire, earth and air and are translated into innovative technological solutions. Those parameters are translated into building materials that reflect the context of adjacent river. “Elements” is the new landmark for a city of the future.
