Ensemble am Kissel – A Climate-Active Forest Clearing  Together with @meierunger , we received an Honourable Mention for our proposal for the Ensemble am Kissel.
The project starts from the qualities already embedded in the site: the existing buildings, paths, mature woodland and the open clearing become the framework for a careful transformation of the ensemble.
At its centre, the clearing is developed as a climate-active landscape. A shallow meadow depression collects and retains rainwater, while a cistern supports its reuse within the site. Existing and new vegetation strengthen the transition between forest and clearing, creating differentiated habitats and a changing landscape throughout the seasons.
Rather than introducing a new formal order, the landscape works with the existing relationships of the place — forest, meadow, water, buildings and movement — and strengthens them into a coherent ensemble. Resource-conscious interventions, reuse and precise additions extend this approach into the architecture.
A project about continuity, transformation and working with what is already there.

Viktoriaspeicher Berlin — Finalist in the Workshop Procedure - Together with ifau, studio erde was selected as one of the two finalist teams in the workshop procedure for the transformation of the Viktoriaspeicher in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Our proposal grows out of a close reading of the site — its spatial traces, existing structures, informal uses and the particular urban logic of Kreuzberg. Rather than producing an anonymous new quarter, the project searches for an appropriate scale and character from what is already there: the industrial fabric, the river, neighbouring streets and courtyards, spontaneous vegetation, and the accumulated traces of everyday life.

The landscape becomes a framework through which these layers can remain legible while the site changes. Different public-space typologies — Spree promenade, Spree windows and play streets — connect the Speicher to the river and the surrounding neighbourhood while creating distinct situations and degrees of intimacy. Existing and new elements form a landscape that carries memory forward and makes space for different forms of life: for people and animals, vegetation and water, seasonal change and an increasingly demanding urban climate.

The project understands transformation not as a tabula rasa, but as a process of working with the site’s existing intelligence and developing a new piece of Kreuzberg from its specific conditions.

DE — Blockseminar „STADT ALS BÜHNE“ am Haus der Statistik in Berlin-Mitte —

(For the English version, see the first comment)

Studierende der @th_koeln und @muthesiuskunsthochschulekiel haben sich vom 10.06. bis 13.06. intensiv mit dem öffentlichen Raum am Haus der Statistik in Berlin beschäftigt – von der Theorie bis hin zu eigenen Aktivierungsexperimenten vor Ort. 

Sie hatten die Möglichkeit, in den neu geplanten Freiräumen rund um das Haus der Statistik vom Mitbauen über das Mitverhandeln bis hin zu eigenen Aktivierungsexperimenten verschiedene Formen der Beteiligung auszuprobieren. Es galt, sich auf einen kooperativen Prozess einzulassen und eigene Beiträge beizusteuern. Dazu wurde ein Bodenbild aus Straßenmarkierungsfarben auf einer Länge von rund 100 Metern vor dem HdS erarbeitet und realisiert, was aus den verschiedenen Themenfeldern Atmosphäre, Wasser, Tiere, Sport&Spiel, Erschließung&Bewegung und Vegetation zum Nachdenken und zur spielerischen Auseinandersetzung anregt. 

Das Haus der Statistik in Berlin ist ein Modellprojekt für kooperative Stadtentwicklung, dazu gehört, dass Nutzungen vor Ort ausprobiert, mit Situationen experimentiert und neue Formen der Produktion von Raum eingeführt werden. 

In diesem Jahr werden durch das Gewinnerteam des temporären Freiraum-Wettbewerbs ARGE, @robin_winogrond Landscape Architecture, @violetaburckhardt, @studio_erde und @bel_sozietaet , die geplanten Gestaltungen für die öffentlichen Freiflächen realisiert. @stadt_buehne

> URBAN COMMONS <
Art & Collective Placemaking
———————————————
3, 4, 5 September 2026
Block seminar on current ecological and social discourses and practices.

Urban Commons examines collective forms of action between art, everyday life, and urban practice. The central question is how shared action is organized and how it can create agency in everyday life.
A special focus lies on the concept of “commoning”. This refers to processes of collectively producing, using, and caring for shared resources. Commoning enables concrete experiences of participation and agency.
“Placemaking” is understood as a collective practice. Participants work with real situations in urban space. Places are read, used, and transformed together. Decisions emerge through the process and are negotiated collectively.
The module combines theory and practice and introduces concepts from art, collaboration, commons, and more-than-human approaches. Exercises, excursions, conversations with experts, and experimental formats form the basis of the work. We test methods on site and develop a toolbox for our own collective practice.

Instructors:
Johannes M. Hedinger (ILEA) and Violeta Burckhardt (studio erde) + guests

🏅 1st prize in the workshop process on the future of Altona Station for team @studio_erde & @bueronoto – and invited to further develop the proposal besides team @vogtlandscape & @cfmoller_architects (congratulations!) - Our contribution understands the site as part of a long-term urban transformation process: instead of demolition, we propose to continue building. Infrastructure is not replaced, but recoded – into urban space, into a carrier of new public qualities.

The station becomes a hall for the City between park and plaza, embedded in a system of mobility, open space, and urban life. The bus terminal transforms into a boulevard, the square into a climate-active public realm.

To the north, a succession park emerges on the former rail tracks: an open process landscape where urban ecology can unfold. Demolition material becomes topography; contaminated soils are gradually regenerated through phytoremediation and filtering processes. Ruderal vegetation, clusters of trees, and water bodies create a dynamic mosaic of microclimates, biodiversity, and new spaces for appropriation.

A project about building-on in the Anthropocene: polyphonic, layered, and open-ended.

On to the next phase! 💪 taken in Altona, Hamburg by @studio_erde

A Circular Future District as an Anthropocene Post-Industrial Landscape

Location: Jüchen
Client: Special Purpose Association *Landfolge Garzweiler* – Urban Development as well as Green and Transport Infrastructure
Year: 2024–2025
Partners: Octagon Architektur Kollektiv, @studio_erde 
Programme: Urban Design and Open Space Planning Framework Plan
Team: Gerda Seidelmann (O), Serafima Kreusch (O), Katharina Haker (O), Annmarie Meißner (O), Nuria Keeve (SE), Marcel Tröger (SE)

With the development of the Jüchen-Süd quarter, the former Garzweiler open-cast mining landscape is transformed into a new, future-oriented living environment. The project understands resettlement not as a conventional urban expansion, but as a conscious response to the profound interventions of the past.
The aim is to create a district that acknowledges responsibility for landscape exploitation and derives a new identity from it. The territorial reconfiguration follows the principle of “forest first”, in which vegetation structures determine spatial organisation, access and parcel layout. Trees form the structural framework of the district, enabling gradual settlement embedded within the landscape.

Research-oriented real-world laboratories and start-up clusters act as incubators for sustainable technologies and new economic models. The district thus becomes a living laboratory for circular construction, energy generation and resource-efficient production methods. Diverse housing and living models promote social diversity and new forms of cohabitation.

The close integration of living, working and productive landscape spaces fosters a strong sense of community. A radically circular approach shapes local value creation and the everyday lives of residents. Energy, food, materials and water are organised in closed-loop systems. An open, porous underlying grid allows for long-term adaptation, growth and transformation of the district.

Competition review 2025 — studio erde / Designing for the Anthropocene for us is a question of structure, time, and responsibility. Our competition work in 2025 explores how systemic thinking — soils, water, climate, and actors— becomes spatial form: legible, robust, and open to change. Polyphonic landscapes, where ecological processes, social practices, and architectural figures co-produce space.
The outcomes reflect this position: 5× 1st prize / commission, 4× 2nd prize, 3× 3rd prize. 
We thank our collaborators, partners, and colleagues for a year of shared authorship, critical dialogue, and trust in Baukunst as a project of the Anthropocene.
