press commentaries strawberry celebration June 11th 2014
“Wie Fische und Erdbeeren auf Kreuzbergs Dächern gedeihen: Der Weg in die Zukunft führt über einen Kreuzberger Hinterhof. (…) Ein Kleinod zu Forschungszwecken. Hier wird erforscht, wie frische Lebensmittel in der Stadt produziert werden können und gleichzeitig Wasser als Ressource wiederverwendet werden kann.”
11.06.2014 Berliner Morgenpost
“Erdbeeren und Karpfen auf Kreuzberger Dächern: Frische Nahrungsmittel vom Dach – und das mitten in Berlin. «Roof Water Farm» heißt das Konzept. Erdbeeren und Salatköpfe könnten in Kreuzberg in Dach-Gewächshäusern gedeihen, die mit Regenwasser und aufbereitetem, leicht verschmutztem Abwasser (Grauwasser) bewässert werden.”
“Erdbeeren, Salat und Fische vom Hausdach: Erdbeeren und Salat sollen in der Stadt gedeihen, Karpfen und Welse direkt an Wohnhäusern gezüchtet werden. Das zumindest ist die Idee von Berliner Forschern. Sie wollen die Landwirtschaft in die Stadt holen. Das höre dich verwegen an, wird aber bereits erprobt: In Berlin-Kreuzberg gibt es eine entsprechende Versuchsanlage. Bei der gestrigen Vorstellung war Thomas Gith dabei.”

Architectural Case Study
How cooperate aquaponic process engineering and contemporary architectural design? How much technology and food can carry a roof? Which typical buildings can be used for ROOF WATER-FARMING? How building technologies and spaces do change with such an infrastructural transformation? Practical examples and architectural design solutions we acquire with Thomas Freiwald, office for Architecture, Berlin.
results urban design seminar
The results of the Urban Design Seminar “Participatory Blue Green Infrastructure” are really inspiring! Thanks a lot to all the participants and guest critics for their contribution.

Urban Design Seminar
Chair for Urban Design and Urban Development, TU Berlin
Participatory Blue Green Infrastructure
Cities and towns all over the world are influenced considerably by infrastructural changes. Centralized infrastructural systems and globalized food-production and food-consumption processes are cultural driven processes and they are shaping our cities. The seminar aims to discuss contemporary urban trends like the re-use of daily resources and urban food production to ask for challenges, options and visions about a post-speculative city and a human scale in urban design.
The design seminar will have a closer look at different aspects of a participatory, blue green infrastructure – its past and present, its sites, spaces, forms and actors as well as the use, reuse and transformation of cities through infrastructure and food-production. Urban design case studies are selected sites in Berlin. Subtopics will be e.g.
- Materiality I : Integrative Water Structure and the City
- Materiality II: Food Production and the City
- Spaces and Sites: Typologies of Action, Envisioning the streets, Daily practices
- Communication strategies: Stakeholder education
- Empowerment: Participation strategies
Assignments are site designs in combination with education and participation strategies.
