GRAFT designs for exhibition "immer modern! Great Streets of Tomorrow"

The exhibition "immer modern! Berlin and its Streets" concerns us all. Because the streets - no matter how beautiful or ugly they may be - are a living environment for all parts of society and nobody can avoid them. The more care and thought should be put into them.

The exhibition on the boulevard Unter den Linden, organized by @Architekten- und Ingenieurverein zu Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. (AIV), takes a look back at Berlin's formative planning processes using the example of important streetscapes.

It also presents 10 plans by 10 architectural firms for "Great Streets for Tomorrow". GRAFT has taken part in this challenge and proposed a vision for the future of a big Berlin street. The design will be revealed with the opening on September 5.

Check out the website immermodern.de for information on the accompanying program which highlights current challenges and projects and focuses in particular on the traffic and living spaces of tomorrow. All events and the exhibition are open to the public and free of charge!

The exhibition and the program are made possible thanks to: Lotto Stiftung Berlin, Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung, Bauen und Wohnen, Senatsverwaltung für Mobilität, Verkehr, Klimaschutz und Umweltschutz, GASAG, Berliner Volksbank eG, KIM Kilian Immobiliengruppe

We all know that we have to lead the car-friendly city into a better future - but there is inevitable and unavoidable social controversy about how. What does a socially and economically compatible reorganization look like that also responds appropriately to the relentless demands of climate change?

The goal is a more vibrant city through a less car-friendly city: attractive remodeling and new construction of buildings, attractive uses, attractive public spaces! The main streets must once again become the lifelines of the city and its neighborhoods, and they must be carefully designed.

We need a constructive debate about the process of change that lies ahead of us, but it should not stop there: That is why the exhibition "immer modern! Berlin and its streets" shows specific proposals. Because nothing encourages change more than good examples.

Ten main streets that go beyond questions of transport planning and not only show perspectives for development in terms of open space planning, but also, where appropriate and possible, in terms of structural engineering.
