Competition Task
Visions for an enhanced and accessible "Olympic Park Berlin"
The 2010 competition sets participants the task of transforming an area on the western fringe of the "Olympic Park Berlin" into a pleasing, functional and fully accessible sport and leisure park.
Students must redevelop the site - which contains sporting facilities, an open-air theater and car parks - and develop a new access route from a nearby urban transit station. The site is of historical significance because it is part of the "Olympic Park Berlin", which the Nazis tried to exploit as a propaganda stage during the 1936 Games. Philosophy
The Schindler Award seeks to change the way young architects approach their work. It challenges
them to think beyond form, light and materials and to focus on the needs of the people who will eventually inhabit the structures and spaces that they design. It has the goal of improving access and overall mobility for all city dwellers, irrespective of their age, status or physical capabilities. More information and pictures are available on:
