    warm homes for war victims

    warm homes for war victims

    Poland , Other
    Many houses and flats have been completely destroyed in Ukraine and are cut out. However, there are definitely more partially damaged houses that are fit for living after minor repairs. We have prepared in Poland kits for the installation of temporary windows with a double transparent membrane. It is really enough that mothers with children have to run away to shelters or basements every day. We want to give them some light and warmth for those short moments when they can enjoy the sun.

    Picnic above the Autobahn

    Picnic above the Autobahn // A park above the Autobahn reconnecting a once divided neighbourhood

    Germany
    Edouard Manet's painting "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe" served as inspiration for the new Dorothea Buck Park on the A7 tunnel in Hamburg-Schnelsen. Where once avalanches of cars pushed along in the open air, today - above the traffic noise and a four-lane road - a vegetative biodiversity thrives, residents meet for picnics, neighbourhood children play football in safety, allotment gardeners grow fruit and vegetables on a 3.0 ha green roof.

    Netherlands , Italy
    Trudo Vertical Forest applies the Vertical Forest model to social housing for the first time. Designed to accommodate mainly low-income users, the tower in Eindhoven houses flats with low rents but high living quality. The complex vision of “living” coexistence between man and other species is thus amplified in the project into a dual challenge: the possibility of combining the great challenge of the environmental crisis with the urgent need for affordable housing in contemporary cities.
