Ernst-Thamannpark(Bezirk Pankow,Prenzlauer Berg),Development Area_Selin
This area was destroyed completely in the second
world war process. After war, some
social houses are built. Nowadays, these social houses' users can spend time
socially around the houses in green spaces with their children and pets
easily. But the demands of new
apartments in Berlin for each year(10.000)
are considered, it is clear the housing requirements of the area
couldn't be solved yet. Today, this area has more than green spaces than it has
never haven before. Although the amount of
green spaces, it is hard to say that all of them are useful and safety green areas. According
to this, the area can be planned as a
social housing plan which includes more useful and planned green areas
and meets the housing requirements.
Positives: Green Places , Social
Family Area
Negatives: Unsafety Green
Places , Incommodious Green Spaces , Low Residential Area, Low relation with
surrounding.

Berlin growth and growth without control_Hector
130k habitants more, 10k
departments per year, … they are just numbers, but they means that there is a
dramatically high necessity of new constructions. Not only residential, if not facilities too.
Front this situation, Berlin has desolated spaces. Only a few, but really
interesting. These holes in the urban fabric must be worked for giving cohesion
for the city under a process of construction which rhythm depends on different
causes, economics and also socials. Moreover, new houses that will be projected
will have to be social residence in order to generate economic departments but
not less
comfortable than a normal
one. To this situation, we have to add spaces with pre-existence’s
that the city can’t lose,
that are part of its history and that are a potential aspects for the new
and bigger Berlin.

quality green, open
and community-shared places vitalize neighbourhoods
·
collaborative
projects facilitate social acceptance and interaction
·
enable shared

Participation and
self-initiative give a sense of identification and responsibility
·
Activate urban potential with intelligent
programming
Alt- Lichenberg (Vietnamese
market area) _ Bartosz
Main impressions from the
Site:
Rundown buildings already
from the street, boarded up windows, graffiti all over the buildings, no life
in the buildings. 4 large hangars, very rough, very industrial, not exactly fit
for the local area, or for the use as a shopping centre. Busy by weekend,
asleep during weekdays. Trash collectors nearby, general awful smells coming
from huts and shacks. Large glass warehouse near the shopping centre, maybe a
place for future investment. The warehouse seems to have a kind of an
attitude/soul to them.
Positive aspects: The market area is a place where the Vietnamese have met for years on
out, and became a place for spending free time searching through the endless
aisles of Vietnamese products. Locals and certain residents of Berlin already
know the place as a good location for shopping. A fair show of the Vietnamese
culture, altar placed by the entrance to the shopping area
Negative aspects: Rundown and very ugly surrounding area, with no intention of being
improved/gentrified. Dangerous / poses a threat to the safety of local
residents. Long distance from city centre.
