The local context

Residential in Berlin

Berlin's 13 Residential-tagged buildings trace the city's evolving ideas about collective living across a century. The collection spans from Le Corbusier's Corbusierhaus — a self-contained vertical neighbourhood with interior streets — to FAR frohn&rojas' Wohnregal, where exposed concrete structure doubles as inhabitable shelving.

Oscar Niemeyer's Interbau apartment and Zaha Hadid's IBA Housing represent two eras of the International Building Exhibition, each rethinking the Berlin block. Frank Gehry's DZ Bank and Georg Heinrichs' Opernviertel Nord show how residential programmes integrate with commercial and civic uses. At the intimate scale, Plus 493o's Haus Grahl and BCO Architekturen's Linienstraße 23 demonstrate Berlin's ongoing culture of experimental infill housing — small plots, bold ideas, buildings that contribute to the street while questioning convention.
