Kinderdorf - Berlin Part 1 Project 2020 Estefania Mino Garcia De Montfort University | UK Kinderdorf aims to unite, invest in understanding and bring children from both sides of the Berlin Wall together through learning. This community-based facility educates young children about their cultural past, to help them understand their present circumstances, and to support and influence their collective futures. The location offers accessible artefacts from the period in the form of a linear park with sensitively designed interpretation and memorials, museums, a preserved section of the wall, and the Chapel of Reconciliation. These architectural and cultural markers support the pedagogy of a building such as the Kinderdorf and they are the perfect campus in which to set this facility. The scheme not only achieves this through its programme, its architecture reinterprets the line of the wall and lifts the park up to expose the facility the city has been missing beneath. By lifting the landscape, it reveals the layers of social and historical significance of the site in physical sense whilst the proposal is equipped with a multitude of sustainable technologies to make it eco- friendly, and the scheme reaches out beyond the confines of the wall to ensure that the intervention may be enjoyed by all Berliners from both sides of the divide, and also visitors to this site of global significance.
