The PRINZESSINNENGARTEN in Berlin-Kreuzberg needs HELP!

Everyone who donates some money helps the garden to stay and to develop further! So the people from the garden started a big crowdfunding-campaign. More information about their campaign here: Wachsen Lassen!

Deadline for donations is the 17th of February! There are very nice presents expecting everyone who donates.

Noch mehr großartige Dachhäuser!

“On top of an existing monumental house and atelier, the bedrooms are positioned as separate houses, optimizing the privacy of every member of the family. The houses are distributed in such a way that a series of plazas, streets and alleys appear as a mini-village on top of the building.
Parapet walls with windows surround the new village. Trees, tables, open-air showers and benches are added, optimizing the rooftop life. By finishing all elements with a blue poly-urethane coating a new “heaven” appears. It creates a crown on top of the monument. This addition can be seen as a prototype for a further densification of the old and existing city. It adds a roof life to the city. It explores the costs for the beams, infrastructure, and extra finishes, and it ultimately aims to be lower than the equivalent ground price.”

Großartige Architektur in einem Vorort von Paris von Francois Eduard!

Drei Archetypen von Häusern, die alle in der Umgebung zu finden sind, wurden übereinander gestapelt. Als Basis dienen dreigeschossige Townhouses, die mit Kupfer, Zinn und Terracotta-Fliesen verkleidet sind. Die Mitte des Komplexes bildet ein voluminöser, ebenfalls dreistöckiger Wohnblock, der an die 1950er Jahre erinnert. Obenauf stehen Giebelhäuschen, die über Treppen zwischen den Townhouses zu erreichen sind.

Unter der Schnellstraße …

Nur einen Sommer lang existierte dieses versteckte Häuschen zwischen den Brücken der Schnellstraße A12 im Londoner Osten. Das Projekt “Folly for a Flyover” machte den Raum unter der Schnellstraße damit zu einem romantischen Ausflugsziel.

Aus der Vermischung historischer Landschaftsbilder und zeitgenössischer Infrastruktur ist offensichtlich ein besonderer Ort entstanden, der mit Filmvorführungen und Performances bespielt wurde. Dazu gabs Kaffeetrinken im Backsteinpavillion aus recycletem Holz und Ruderbootfahren auf dem ehemaligen Industriekanal.
