Winning design entry for a new church in Wünsdorf (near Berlin), Germany.

The church is located in a previously contaminated, Russian-occupied, area of former East Germany. The structure is intended to facilitate both religious services as well as provide space for a variety of other types of events.

The design focus of the church is to provide a new framework for increasingly complex forms of belief systems and the designers approached the competition with the conviction of positive change and faith in inclusion over the exclusionary practices of traditional religious establishments.

Under Construction in the harbour area of Hamburg-Harburg, Germany.

Germany’s first entirely sustainable creative-industrial corporate development.

Comprising ten major structures of different spaces for different purposes, rangeing from studios to large warehouse and production facilities.

The design proposes two large wind turbines atop high-rise towers. These building-integrated turbines will generate more than 10% of the complex’s power, surpassing any other high-rise project in the world. Solar water heating will be used to offset the use of natural gas.
Site lighting will be powered by solar technology. Over forty percent of Eco City’s footprint will consist of open air. The majority of all visible roofs will be green roofs, serving to slow storm water runoff and significantly reducing the heat island effect.
Green areas will be elevated to the second story where there is more access to air and sunlight. In addition to roof gardens, more than half the site will be covered with vertical gardens, further minimizing the development’s carbon footprint and maximizing leisure space.

Scheduled Completion:    2010
