Fresh off the press

The latest KWG Stiftung Magazine features the international design competition for the redesign and expansion of the exhibition in the Old Tower of the Kaiser- Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin.

In 2023, eight interdisciplinary teams from the fields of architecture and exhibition design were invited to take part — including PLANET architects (in collaboration with büro wien - inszenierte Kommunikation marketing gmbh).

Our place-sensitive concept explores the potential of this historically and emotionally charged site. Through targeted architectural interventions, we aimed to generate added value, create synergies, and open up a unique future perspective for both the church and its surrounding urban ensemble.

The result is a high-quality, sustainable, and vibrant urban space — a place that connects the past and the future. The KWGK becomes a vital condensation point for Berlin’s urban life, with the “Old Tower” as the central narrative of the story.

We’re proud to have been among the eight invited studios and to contribute to this inspiring discourse on the future of such a symbolic place. Find more details about the project on our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/dpBd-BDQ
