WEISSENSEE DISTRICT

The new neigh­bor­hood Weis­sen­see forms a very own, small and urban world. The loca­ti­on bet­ween the two ceme­ter­ies and the loo­se­ned-up resi­den­ti­al deve­lo­p­ment as well as the school calls for an urban design with strong inter­nal refe­ren­ces. The pre­cise pla­ce­ment of eight resi­den­ti­al buil­dings of very dif­fe­rent sizes allows both the for­ma­ti­on of an iden­ti­ty-crea­ting com­mu­ni­ty cen­ter and a dif­fe­ren­tia­ted refe­rence to the exis­ting urban struc­tures. Inters­per­sed smal­ler struc­tures and pavi­li­ons com­ple­ment the urban figu­re and break the sca­le of the, in its con­text new, urban figu­re.
