Mapping Z/KU - Pocket Space Caravan

Studienprojekt, TU Berlin, 2018

Ort: Berlin

Team: Anne Pollack-Boick

The ZK/U is one of the social and cultural institutions in Berlin-Moabit with a large worldwide network but also offering various events for the public troughout the year. Even tough if the  ZK/U is more oriented across the borders of Moabit, it still bears a responsibility towards the life of its closer neighborhood by simply being part of it. While the institution is limited in its spatial dimension, the way to a deeper connection to their neighbors is to move outside and interact on the neighbourhood level. 

We determined a total of 96 'Pocket Spaces' in an open space analysis, which got then classified by their character. Depending their physical features as well as facilitiy nearness and status. The spaces are mostly former parkin lots, now seperated to the street by pillars and are mostly unsused. Next to the ZK/U as an primarly supra-regional network, the area has a lot of social cultural and neighbourhood related initiatives, facilities and institutions.
