“GERMAN SUSTAINABILITY AWARD ARCHITECTURE 2021”:
TWO NOMINATIONS FOR “WALDEN 48” AND “B-PART AM GLEISDREIECK”!

 

Two of our projects are among the total of eight nominees at the German Sustainability Award Architecture 2021! The residential building “Walden 48”, developed in ARGE with Anne Raupach, convinced the jury as well as the temporary multifunctional building “B-Part Am Gleisdreieck”!

Excerpt from the jury report on “Walden 48”: “The exemplary effect of the project lies in the high quality of architectural design. As a building with a strong proportion of visible wooden surfaces and facades, it is exemplary for urban timber construction and sets a milestone in the discourse on residential construction in timber, which is just beginning in Berlin.”

Excerpt from the jury report on “B-Part Am Gleisdreieck”: “The building, constructed in modular timber construction, can be quickly erected and dismantled and comparatively easily reerected elsewhere. This makes it very flexible to use and increases the positive primary energy balance through repeated use of construction and materials…. It was extremely positively evaluated that this kind of temporary architecture is possible without the use of lined up and stacked containers, and can develop an appealing shape in the constructive make.”

The prize is awarded jointly with the DGNB and with the support of the Federal Chamber of Architects, the Association of German Architects and the Federal Foundation for Building Culture. On September 15, 2020, the jury will decide on the finalists and the winner.
