Tegel Airport is scheduled to close, and a research and industrial park is set to appear in its place. Berlin TXL will offer a space for entrepreneurs, students, investors, producers, and scientists to develop urban technologies for the cities of tomorrow.
Led by GRAFT and GRAFT Brandlab, the project saw a unique collaboration between engineers, architects, scientists, UX designers, and mobility experts. Arup, EPEA, GRAFT, GRAFT Brandlab, PCH Innovations, and Transsolar joined forces to generate original approaches for the site, resulting in a study that presents an overarching concept for future developments, a planning manifesto and a catalog featuring innovative solutions for smart, sustainable cities.
