Конкурс проводится в память об объединении Германии. Район Фридрихсхайн, через который некогда проходила Берлинская стена, сегодня является одним из европейских центров авангарда. Именно здесь организаторы предлагают участникам спроектировать резиденцию для художников со всего мира. Обязательное условие для всех проектов: здание должно иметь не более пяти этажей. В остальном участникам предоставляется свобода.

In memory of the twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the barrier that divided the party to Soviet influence from the US during the Cold War years, we want to focus on one of the neighborhoods that, in the last decade, is undergoing a clear growth phase. The Kreuzberg, near the Fredrichshain, is an area that is close to the River Spree and the past dividing curtain of which are still visible most of the remains. It is the district where the old buildings are being renovated and where the rental prices are still very low, which is why many have moved to this area. Over time it has become the artists’ quarter and is being one of the most active cultural vanguards of Europe. We want to imagine a new residence for artists, an ideal hinge at the back of the wall, at the impressive Oberbaum bridge, which could become an important pole of aggregation. It is here that artists from all over the world will gather to participate in the change that is leading the Berlin of the twentieth century. Which will become the symbol of the reconstruction.
