Arch. Chen Benjamin-Gemmel

After completing five years of university studies in 2016 as an architect and one more year in interior design at Ariel University in Israel, I realized it was time for a new adventure in my architectural career. Thus, came the decision to change scenery, and at the beginning of 2017, I moved to Berlin.

The city’s magic needs no description. I was immediately captivated by its evident and unpolished beauty as well as the mix of old and new. The melting pot of cultures, history, and styles made me realize this is where I want to stay and create.

Having already gained interior planning and design experience, I was instinctively drawn to working on large-scale projects to expand my expertise in planning, detailing, and working collaboratively with large teams and funding. As a result, I have versatile abilities and would be happy to work on small and large-scale projects.

In this portfolio, I chose to present some projects I participated in that best represent my abilities and knowledge; additional projects can be sent by request.

The 80-meter-tall cylinder steel structure, a unique historical landmark in Berlin, the famous Gasometer, is a gasholder container dating back to the 19th century, is a landmark construction to be preserved and refurbished but otherwise untouched.

The round-shaped base of the structure, a 15-meter tall steel, and the hallow container was a challenge to

LPH 1-5, 2023

handle delicately as we planned the building that has now been erected inside it. While planning, we kept a 1.5-meter distance from the historical monument, and a new modern tower with a unique radial design was planned and built inside.

I had the privilege to participate in one of the most exciting projects in Berlin in the past years, planning, detailing, and designing the interior

of the Gasometer. Joining the project at a relatively early stage, I had the opportunity to be a part of the planning team and to handle a few key elements and crucial points of the project, from all core and technical elements like the facade, planning of all staircases and technical shafts in the building, floor plans, to the interior design of the main areas such as conference hall, conference rooms, and lobbies.

EUREF Campus Düsseldorf

EUREF Consulting

Multi functional office and convension center

LPH 3 - 5, 2021

This unique closed ecosystem building aspires to be a leading high-tech energy center using renewable energy for its dayto-day operation. Solar panels embedded in facades and roofs, as well as the Lichtenbroich Lake, a reservoir that heats in winter and cools the building in summer through highly efficient heat pumps, are innovative solutions to lower the building’s ecological footprint. As a part of the architectural team working on ECD and plan -

ning the campus, I took part in the LP3-5 stages, including planning and designing the facades, the floor plans, and the underground levels, which included the technical rooms and the underground parking.

ECD came with its particular challenges, like the requirement to connect the building of an adjacent train station to the Düsseldorf Airport station, which meant that it had to be adapted both from the security

side as well as topographical challenges. It was also essential to keep the building cooled and heated. With three grand atriums, this challenge was dealt by using different Fassade materials and planting trees inside the building.

The communal halls and open spaces on the campus were significant and connected those areas with the green spaces outside the building and within.

The Schargendorf neighborhood in the western part of Berlin is home to an old Reemtsma cigarette factory that has been unused for several years. The spaces was rented out to artists, artisans, and studios and has been an ongoing project known as “GO-WEST” for the past few years. Recently, the project has started to take shape with the development of 11 new buildings rang-

ing from 5 to 7 stories. These buildings are designated for offices, laboratories, and research facilities and feature a commercial ground floor. Additionally, four existing buildings, including the old factory building, are being renovated as part of the urban-scale project.

As a member of the leading team of six architects working on this project

for CKSA, my responsibilities included managing the building application phases LP 1 - LP 4, drafting and planning of ground floors, and designing the new office buildings. I was also responsible for developing the surrounding area and creating three new streets that were added to the neighborhood.
