Group 10- Berlin Reflection


Group 9

Berlin

First stop was Tempelhofes Feld, it was very different from the rest of the city
because there was a lot of open space where people can get in touch with each
other.

Second stop: The lecture at the Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung
we were wondering about how the importance about the government intervention on
housing matters to provide the citizens the proper rights.

Third Stop: Deutsches Architekturzentrum/ Spreegarten
There were a mount of possibilities to project dwellings grow and the architects
should consider to adapt to current days.
Spreegarten is very interesting project, it’s a first projection to handle with the future
of growth. The public spaces were opened to be designed by of the owners.

Fourth Stop: Kottbusser Tor
It was the best example for gentrification. Everybody want’s to life there because of
the mix of cultures what’s very typical for Berlin.
If we compare this area with the Mitte, we can say that there are more affordable
restaurants or livable conditions.

Fifth Stop: Ernst-Thällmannpark
There is a overscaled space. The habitants does not use the space much. As an
stranger you’ll never get the idea to go inside this park.

Sixth Stop: Dong Xuan Center
Unfortunately it was closed. It’s an opportunity for interaction or to grow the
surrounding area.

Seven: Marzahn Hellersdof
We can learn from what not to do. The only opportunity to handle an area like this to
make it more attractive.

About Berlin
Group 6 

Proposals
  
- Green spaces should be proportional to building and housing complexes.

   - The old airport garden and the building should be balanced. The fact that the building is used to events and parties is very good but it should have a proper function

      - It’s important to predict all the scenarios: Baseline, Optimistic and Pessimist so we can be prepared for everything. Because of all the scenarios, the structures and the projects should be changeable and adaptable.

       - Vietnamese Market. It's a valuable space because of its cultural variety but it has to be taken care of

        - Green spaces should be organized like the Thalmannpark which has great potential but it’s not well used. They have to be redesigned.

    Questions

- Can the city deal with the prediction of 250k more people in 2030 in terms of...

Transport ( the metro line should be expanded)
Infrastructure
Public\private space (parking lots, gardens,...)
Mixed facilities
Socially stable neighbourhood
Job opportunities


- Co-ops buildings are a new way to involve the people in the projects and adapt the houses to their needs. It’s also a way to build with less costs and more quickly.
