Lendager has won the international reuse competition for recycling the construction and materials from an existing car park behind the historic Karstadt department store at Hermannplatz in Berlin. The proposal ’Reparked’ grows from what is already on-site in terms of materials, spatial constraints, and the unique possibilities that arise when grasping these as an opportunity to enact positive change. The vision is that all materials stay on site, recirculated and ‘reparked’ in new, aesthetic configurations. The proposal will now be further elaborated together with the developer SIGNA Real Estate.

Our idea about the metro as a “place” usually revolves around an abstract image of the entire transport network created for us by metro map designers. This bird’s eye view perspective usually leads into forming a sort of mind image of the metro, represented by the network of interconnected bright colored lines. The bright lines are periodically pierced by dots of well-known names that serve as the only connection with the aboveground city. These points are the entrances to the underground spaces of the subway and therefore it was important to us that they were treated in a unique way. However, the experience of riding with the metro and movement within the metro space is radically different from what this abstract metro map represents. Riding the subway is a very real and sensual way of getting to know the city, and it is shaped by sounds, smells, lights and darkness, movement and peace, and a tangible experience of being crammed into tight spaces with strangers.

Extensive changes await the long-disused Šíbal’s farm in Kamenný Přívoz: Brno based architects AOSI have won the open architectural competition with their sensitive proposal to transform the buildings into a cultural center that will act as a new focal point for the social life of the village. The design takes its cues from the Czech folk architecture of the area. Gabled roofs supplemented by aeration openings form a prominent part of the village’s character. Stone walls are another typical architectural element owing to the position of the village on the slope of the river valley. The design works with the three existing buildings of Šíbal’s farm and highlights their vernacular expression. A new volume complements the spatial arrangement and takes on the materiality of the existing stone wall.

The library is imagined, not as a permanent space that is given to the people, but as a living organism that shapes itself and grows over time with the users. The design is envisioned as an immersive experience into the landscape, revealing the structure and concrete monoliths engraved with alphabets of the threatened language Gondi, which strongly symbolize the presence, importance, and relevance of the tribal culture.
