Instructor: Bradley Cantrell, Michael Lee

Project type: Urban Design, A water corridor for Berlin subculture

22F Alar 8010

Berlin has a long cultural history, and in modern times, the city's vibrant young people have developed a unique subcultural environment. The cultural and artistic fields involved in subculture include but are not limited to: music, art, sports competition, gathering events, open market, etc.

Aiming at the unique cultural environment of Berlin, the proposal of the design is to develop a culture corridor for visitors to experience the subcuture, and to another extend, to document the interweaving of subculture and urban culture and its own unique charm.

In order to maximize the effect of visiting and documenting, this design makes use of the water transportation system that crosses the city horizontally. Through the design of cruise ship routes, multiple representative locations and regions of the city are connected.
