Intersection of two green axes - The project Lion-Feuchtwanger-Strasse marks the intersection of two green axes that cut through the large GDR housing estate Kaulsdorf Nord in a north-south and east-west direction.

Below this plateau, there is the day-lit mobility level with further sports facilities, parking for bicycles and cars, charging stations for e-mobility, and a packing station for residents. The client is a real estate developer, Euroboden.

Alison Furuto — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Mediating between iconic metaform and the human scale, this proposal by FAR frohn&rojas is one of the winners of the architectural competition for the new central library of the state of Berlin at the airfield of the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.

Goethe Institute - Temporary Premesis / FAR frohn&rojas

Igor Fracalossi — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 01:00:00 +0000

In February 2010, the building that has historically housed the Goethe- Institute was damaged by earthquake.

The temporary Cultural Institute is to be installed on an unfinished floor in an office high-rise. The space is characterized by a large depth of 16m between core and façade, but with only limited space for class-rooms, library, office, event- and exhibition space.
