Berlin Award 2016 - Heimat in der Fremde

Berlin Award 2016 Heimat in der Fremde – Call for projects
Call for projects
Currently, 60 million people the world over have fled their homes. The dimensions of the refugee movement are becoming a major challenge for big cities
in particular, where these displaced persons must be accommodated and
provided for, given work and integrated into society in large numbers and in a
short time. For this reason, it is necessary to quickly create adequate living
space and interfaces between this living space and the urban realm in order to
facilitate participation in urban life from the outset.
The Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment is
sponsoring the international Berlin Award 2016 Heimat in der Fremde. This
Award recognises innovative projects for accommodating refugees. The main
goal of the Berlin Award 2016 Heimat in der Fremde is to contribute to improving the quality of life of refugees through innovative projects. The successful
integration of the projects in their urban context is an important part of this
goal.
We are looking for innovative planning concepts and realised projects. Project
contributions can be submitted by architects, planners, or planning teams as
well as by owner-builders, project developers, community initiatives, institutes
and operators. Project contributions must be possible to realise or already
have been realised. It must be possible to adapt submitted projects to the
requirements effective here in Berlin.
