the design fosters public and cultural engagement with the various stages of energy production. Visitors can access the drying machine, discover an exhibition inside the storage tower, and overlook the yard from the roof terrace.

In its second afterlife, the Pylonia tower challenges the dichotomy between the production of energy and of culture. After all, this structure is deeply rooted in the site's heritage — its silhouette echoes the historical cooling tower of the power plant, while the reuse of the existing foundations avoids mobilizing soil contamination.

The design challenges conceptions of knowledge production as a frontal format, and instead creates a central social atrium — a space where people gather to debate, argue, and exchange ideas.

The atrium and the new roof act as bioclimatic elements, allowing the building to be naturally ventilated and heated to the highest degree possible, while distributing daylight throughout the depth of the plan.

While simultaneously articulating a conceptual design idea for the Bulk Material Storage, we have finished transporting and storing the reclaimed building elements at the E-WERK. As the facility is a key component in the E-WERK’s expansion, we are currently examining the building permit together with the “Pylonia” project.

The dismantling site is being coordinated by Secklerschick Architekten.

The challenge lay in transforming a burntdown industrial ruin into a legally usable space with minimal architectural intervention. Stairs and floors were added for accessibility, while technical installations and insulation ensured functionality. The unique spatial qualities of the structure were carefully preserved. I contributed to implementation planning, focusing on sanitary areas, interior installations, and kitchen design in collaboration with Sam Chermayeff Office. I also worked closely with contractors and participated in hands-on restoration, including Manfred Pernice’s pavilion, the planting of a Japanese cherry tree, and a structural test on a balcony.

develop the concept of Healing Urbanism. A practice conceiving of soil care as a form of socio-environmental and spatial design. The concept will expand from the trans-scalar methodology of the Living Lab, already established within the E-WERK Luckenwalde. Through this, three intertwined Technosol crises are addressed: the land use inertia through structural economic shifts, the environmental degradation of soil health through industrial perturbation of ecological cycles, and the socio-political consequences of violent economic-political system change. This proposal investigates these three dimensions in their interdependence, remnants of an obsolete anthropocentric worldview.

how to share these findings without appropriating them? When the New Ruralities Team, part of Professor Freek Persyn‘s chair at ETH, invited us to exhibit our research, we contributed an installation that encourages visitors to abandon the objective role of the spectator and instead explore our sound piece from the typical position of a seasonal worker. Vincent Crapanzano drew the analogy between the role of the ethnographer and the Greek god Hermes. What he calls the Hermes dilemma raises the question of rightfully extracting information from one context and translating it into another. Within the framework of It Was All Fields Once, initiated by Professor Freek Persyn‘s chair at ETH, we had the opportunity to elaborate on our contribution through a lecture performance. The Hermes dilemma and the question of processing our fieldwork became the point of departure. We joined the audience in the bunk bed scenography as we transparently exposed our real archival structure. We curated semantically adjacent fragments to form 17 hypotheses. The format turned into a platform for an engaging discussion.

  residents acquire tools and skills that turn the act of building into an instrument for collaborative and self-determined liberation. Buildings become continuous artifacts passed on by our ancestors and shaped by the generations to come. “Repair”; In transience, serenity. The Dammwegsiedlung in Berlin-Neukölln from 1919 authentically represents the enormous mass of Berlin workers’ housing. On-site investigations through various lenses allowed a comprehensive understanding of inherent issues and their entanglement within the neighborhood. The resulting repair concept addresses these issues throughout a transcalar and transitory strategy, enabling the residents to realize the architectural interventions. In the near future, these interventions carefully open the obsolete typology to diverse forms of living and modern family constitutions while simultaneously improving the energetic performance. The site’s long-term evolution aims to instigate a persistent community, tackle the high criminality and recuperate ecological damages.
