The studio seeks to place architecture within the broader context of urban, landscape, and interior design. The studio will engage a 7 acre site in the Mitte district of Berlin. There exists on it a ruin reclaimed as an ad hoc art center and an abandoned factory that will become a hotel. Our solution will be guided by its sensitivity to civic impact, as we envision both interior and exterior spaces in relation to the greater public domain. The studio as a whole will proceed in conjunction with site-related research and discussion of relevant theoretical, historical, and cultural materials.
Participation is open to students in architecture, landscape and urban design.
