Concept
In 2021 and 2022, we systematically investigated previously untapped densification potential within Berlin’s urban fabric. Our focus was on identifying how existing structures could be meaningfully complemented or further developed through a range of strategies — including Fill-In, Add-On, Top-Up, Extend, and Rebase.
