Greenkamp House / Atelier ST | Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH

November 16, 2025 Hadir Al Koshta 0

In the west of Berlin, nestled between the historic Grunewald forest and the old AVUS route, lies the Eichkamp estate, designed by Bruno Taut – a residential neighborhood that was conceived as a forest estate in the early 1920s. The plot is one of the last undeveloped plots in this unique ensemble. The special character of the estate, characterized by old deciduous trees, small detached houses, and an almost village-like atmosphere, despite its proximity to the ICC, can still be clearly felt here. The immediate neighborhood is heterogeneous, combining public buildings such as daycare centers and schools with private single-family homes from different eras. A new residential building has been created in this evolved context, which blends in respectfully and only catches the eye at second glance.

Temple of Darkness Bakhoor Bakhoor Pavilion / Bunga Design Atelier

November 16, 2025 Miwa Negoro 0

The Temple of Darkness Bakhoor Bakhoor by Bunga Design Atelier is an outdoor experiential installation – a contemporary temple born from smoke, scent, and silence. Inspired by the ritual of burning bakhoor, where fragrant wood releases sacred fumes into the air, the piece reimagines the temple as a space of reflection rather than worship, of darkness rather than light.

Weilong School / MENG YAN | URBANUS

November 15, 2025 Valeria Silva 0

“We approach the construction of the academies as an opportunity to reactivate community culture. The proposal seeks not only to mend the existing spatial fabric of the city but also trace and reveal the valuable cultural threads embedded in its surroundings. We hope to ‘nourish’ the future of the district, weaving a more generous urban space and a richer urban life through the architectural design of two new schools.” Meng Yan.
