Task

Berlin is changing very rapidly. It is becoming a destination for very different kinds of people, growing by at least 40.000 dwellers every year and it is about to become of the largest cities in Europe with 3.7 million inhabitants.

The workshop highlights two critical questions that are intriguing to contemporary architects: How and where will these new Berliners live? How to transform “impossible” urban sites into desired and livable spaces? It looks for unconventional and creative design solutions focused at “Impossible Sites”.

This university design studio is part of the ANCB theme Human Scale Remeasured.

What if..

Impossible sites in Berlin became indeed livable areas?
