DRAGONER AREAL

Berlin, Germany | 4,7 ha | COMPETITION: 1. Prize, 2020


The proposed development reflects the historical distinction between the former barracks site and the Gründerzeit perimeter-block development. Thanks to its numerous open spaces, the interior of the neighborhood is car-free and designed to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists. These open spaces also serve as climate-responsive infrastructure for the neighborhood. Integrated rainwater management plays a particularly important role, treating rainwater as a valuable resource. Another key element of the infrastructure is the tree and shrub network, which provides essential greenery and shade. The open spaces are equipped with basic infrastructure that has either been developed collaboratively with users through democratic processes or entrusted to them for further development and management.
