A modular wooden neighborhood

KREUZBERG MAKES SPACE!– A modular neighborhood made of wood!

The historic “Kreuzberger mixture” today represents a future model of a mixed city that enables living, working and commerce to coexist in a diverse urban fabric. Kreuzberg was and is characterized by a mixture of public, semi-public and private spaces of varying sizes and quality. Squares, backyards and inner courtyards ensure great diversity, allow informal and spontaneous social interaction and thereby shape the culture of life in the neighborhood.

The Kreuzberg mixture represents a heterogeneity that enables encounters and thus creates a high quality of life.The concept “KREUZBERG MAKES PLACE! “ uses, translates and complements this potential to create a climate-resilient, socially and culturally diverse and flexibly adaptable city building block.The Kreuzberg of today will become a model for the city of tomorrow.

In this context, mixture also means the coexistence of different social milieus as well as the great diversity of different cultures that coexist closely here.
