The Second Ground

Living in Berlin - Prof. Jean P. Vassal https://skfb.ly/osEQR

After long research of the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Sportpark and its surroundings and connections to Mauerpark, it was clear that there is a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of Inclusiveness, which is the main theme of this urban design.

As the name of the project suggests the main idea was to create a new layer of paths and ramps that guide the visitors and athletes everywhere around the sports park making it accessible for everyone without losing the shape and memory of the existing ground underneath.
