QUARTER 2032:

“A prototype for a futureoriented cohabitation typology in Lichtenberg”

“QUARTER 2032” is a testing ground for a circular mixed-use cooperative, where inhabitants think, act and suggest alternative practices about ownership, resources, and collectivity.

The objective of this project was to emerge a component building system, providing a new image and flexible spatial framework, where this heterogeneous milieu converges to promote a circular living and working mode.

The remains of an abandoned factory in the industrial zone of Lichtenberg, Berlin, have been chosen to implement this alternative lifestyle.

“QUARTER 2032” ist ein Testfeld für eine zirkuläre Kooperativ mit gemischter Nutzung, in dem die Bewohner denken, handeln und alternative Praktiken in Bezug auf Eigentum, Ressourcen und Kollektivität vorschlagen.

Das Ziel dieses Projekts war es, ein Baukastensystem zu entwickeln, das ein neues Image und einen flexiblen räumlichen Rahmen bietet, in dem dieses heterogene Milieu zusammenkommt, um eine zirkuläre Lebens- und Arbeitsweise zu fördern.

Die Überreste einer stillgelegten Fabrik im Berliner Industriegebiet Lichtenberg wurden für die Umsetzung dieses alternativen Lebensstils ausgewählt.

Narrative

Ten years ago, in 2022, a vision was born from a wish to emerge working and living spaces and to create new housing typologies in Berlin. An initiative group in Lichtenberg started embracing the shifts happening in the social, economic, and cultural realms by envisioning an alternative future for Berlin. They wanted to investigate the idea that;

“What if people take action and promote a circular, collective, and non-profit ownership and development model?“

QUARTER 2032:

To test this idea, they introduced an experimental prototype for a mixeduse cooperative with an alternative ownership model based on collectivity and participation, and localizing the material resources. After a prototyping and research phase which lasted until 2025, the group developed this vision further by utilizing a digital platform to spread their goals and strategies to grow their community. They formed a building cooperative among the members to be in charge of the project construction in the premises.

The first prototypical project started its construction in 2027 at Josef Orlopp str. 97 by using a digital interface, the Cohab Configurator, as a game-like tool for communication and participatory design between the residents and architects. It meant to provide them with a set of building component toolkits and a catalog of existing materials, to emerge a resilient, user-oriented block, where people’s lives and jobs positively affect their neighborhood and community.

“A prototype for a futureoriented cohabitation typology in Lichtenberg”

UARTER -

In 2022, a project starts in the heart of the post-industrial yards of Lichtenberg, Berlin, to explore an alternative cooperative cohabitation model, which aims to propose an alternative ownership and management model for the housing sector.

Artists and cultural initiatives had already discovered these empty lots and claimed them as their working grounds, although they have been in dispute with the urban development office of the Lichtenberg district office, which does not want to tolerate the use of the industrial site for exhibitions.

The argument of this conservative strategy and the rigidity of the building planning law is to avoid gentrification. An answer came from a group of local artists and architects who brought the idea of introducing a new sustainable cooperative model of living and working as a non-profit-driven building market and development strategy. This mix-use cooperative introduces a sustainable microneighborhood by including residential use alongside the cultural uses of these yards, while focusing on collective land ownership and management, proposes a way out of the increasing housing crisis. With the help of Mietshäuser Sindikat, the cooperators managed to get the public land and started to develop this new typology, where nature and humans coexist as equal actors.

In order to approach and converge people interested in this project, an open call was published, followed by workshops and events. Their goal was to create this new model through participation, nature involvement, and development of an open building system.

“Youneverchangethingsbyfightingthe existingreality.Tochangesomething,build anewmodelthatmakestheexistingmodel obsolete.” -Buckminster Fuller

Since then, the project at Josef-Orlopp 97 has turned out as an inventive solution to housing and environmental crisis in Berlin and has been spreading its principles through other post-industrial lots to provide this form of cohabitation.

Location

Lichtenberg was starting to grow and show some potential back in 2022. The housing crisis was deteriorating, given the inflation and rising energy prices in berlin.

Lichtenberg was a postindustrial zone and was no longer on the city’s periphery. It had some promising infrastructure and enough unmapped, state-owned, empty land to be a testing ground for this collective living and working concept. The non-planned part of Lichtenberg offered big plots where nature and agriculture could introduced, providing solutions for the emerging demands.

There were already some evolving cultural centers within these post-industrial yards, which were runned by autonomous initiatives. Quarter 2032’s vision was to introduce habitation to the area but to avoid future gentrification, by developing a collective cooperative mixed-use housing project, valuing the community, and caring about nature and waste material uses.

The remains of an abandoned factory in Joseph Orlopp str. 97 were chosen after thorough research to implement this alternative project.

Ownership model

Quarter 2032 is a cohabitation cooperative, which means that the cooperative owns the property, and the members are to decide how it operates in legal and financial terms, as well as the infrastructure and commons. The fact that there is no private owner protects from speculative development in the area.

If a member decides to leave, their room would go back to the cooperative, and then is offered to the new members.

Official agreements were reached after a series of negotiations with Berlin’s senate and Miethäuser Syndikat* to buy the land and begin the interventions.

The group had 15 members in the beginning and later grew to around 90 after publishing the open calls and taking in the new members, who also brought new private funds by contributing their membership shares.

Sidenote

* Miethäuser Syndikat is a self-governed organisation in Germany, that supports and guards housing projects against speculation by promoting a shared-collective model of divided ownership.

Members

The story started in June 2022, when a group of people , already being invloved with the region, came together to bring their visions into test and realization, having as main focus circular-collective cohabitation. During the fall of 2022, the group organized the first open call to gain support and find more like-minded members to base their cooperative.

More events followed up until the members reached 90, and an active network of more than 100 Berlinbased initiatives involved in this alternative cohabitation model was created.

To secure the principles that govern the community, all the members had to agree with the cooperative’s social contract and have an interest in being a proactive part of this living and working ecosystem. The community was focused on people; who wanted to live and work collectively; to create a safe place for people and offer them the possibility to have a living and working space in the center of Berlin.

Had low income and no other property ownership in Germany; to create an alternative living and working system, protected by the cooperative’s non profit principles and free of the rules that govern the housing marketplace.

Objectives

Quarter 2032’s aim was to experiment on reducing and reusing waste within the community. Members were committed to sustainable development and living habits, from energy systems, construction methods to respecting nature and practicing ecological production.

The vision was built on two core principles:

1. Sharing and collectivity

The cooperative ownership model allows residents to share everything with each other and have the ability to (re-)use materials, infrastructure and spaces provided. Members are each allocated into two different groups of housemates and workmates to spread the living areas and working tasks between themselves. There is no private house for a single user. Every housing typology includes some shared areas for all the housemates inhabiting it.

The commons are another type of these shared spaces, which are accessible for all the members to work collectively and maintain the ecosystem in the house.

2. Sustainable production

Food production is one of the main working groups of the project’s living cycle. Working groups such as Gardening and market/ restaurant work within a local network of similar cooperatives to collaborate on a sustainable production. Their aim is to develop strategies for sustainable urban agriculture and allow nature to be a part of the living cycles of the building.

It is considered as a solution to minimize the footprint by promoting local-based processes to bring an autonomous agriculture mode in the cities.

Strategies

0 1 — REFUSE

Do not build spaces that are not usable, Do not use new materials; if second-hand options are available. Do not waste resources and expand human spatial activities; this way, there is more space for nature and open interactions.

0 2 — REDUCE

QUARTER 2032 uses as little raw material as possible and shares as many products as possible. Less is more, and collectivity is the solution. We stand for lowering our footprint and avoiding unnecessary waste.

0 3 — REGENERATE Technology can help towards autonomy and selfsufficiency. Focusing on food production, water and waste management, as well as integrating renewable energy systems is necessary for this house.

0 4 — REUSE

Building materials are designed to live another life with us; beams, CLT, frames, trusses, and floors are aimed to be reused again. The junkyards and the old structures are among our resource providers. Almost all of the used materials are documented to facilitate future processes and transfer knowledge and experience.

0 5 — REASSEMBLE

Increase convertibility and disassembly. Develop and apply the component building system, to host and be compatible with all possible future uses. The connections between the structure and infills are reversible to help this adaptability in construction. A Component Manual Catalog is issued to guide the building processes.

0 6 — RESET

Develop collective spaces and re-evaluate the unnecessary personal spaces. Users’ lifecycles and changes in everyday life are also part of the project. The Component Manual Catalog should always change and get updated to share solutions and facilitate the future changes.

0 7 — REPROGRAM

A diverse program based on residential and heterogeneous mix of uses need to be considered to secure our alternative economic model, sustainable livelihood and self-organization. The ground floor hosts working, production and common activities. The shops, studios, workshops and events-open spaces can be rented and appropriated by individuals and other cooperatives or institutions, who follow, support and promote the circular principles of our community.

08 — REFORMULATE

Inclusive and democratic decision-making processes are pillars of this community. A general assembly takes place every week. In addition, each community member has to actively participate in a working group to collectively produce, manage and maintain the house.

09 — RE - DWELL

A circular co-operative applies collective land use and ownership, empowers affordability, accessibility, and more democratic housing development, as well as making it resilient to gentrification. There were negotiations and a land trust agreement among the funding parties, namely Mietshäuser Sindikat, and The Co-operators. The land belongs to the foundation, and the building belongs to the co-operative. Selling is not allowed without the agreement of the two parties.

Why Lichtenberg?

Maria Dimitroudi, Hanie Norouzzadeh, Theodoros Tselepidis

Site analysis -

13th-18th century

Alt-Lichtenberg

Lichtenberg district

Alt-Lichtenberg was founded about 1230. It remained as an agricultur al settlement with a few hundred inhabitants and was mainly owned by the von Rüthenick family until 1391 that it was bought by the city of berlin and became a combing vil lage. It was ruined due to wars and reconstructed in 1688.

Herzberge mental asylum

Herzbergstraße 79

In 1887, the Berlin city council purchased a plot of land from the Roeder manor in Lichtenberg in order to set up the “Herzberge mental asylum” (Herzberge Munici pal Sanatorium and Nursing Home after 1925), which quickly devel oped into a well-known institution after its opening in 1893.

The history of the company VDE Elektrokohle begins, when “Sie mens & Halske” set up a produc tion facility for the manufacture of alcohol measuring equipment and ran it under the name “Gebr. Siemens & Co” in Herzbergstraße 128-139.

Siemens & Halske Herzbergstraße 128-139 1872 - 1880

Was a drinking water supply facility on Landsberger Allee. The water obtained from the Friedrichshagen waterworks for the eastern districts of Berlin was temporarily stored in underground brick-built pure water tanks in the plant

Berolina moved into the new building at Herzbergstraße 55 in 1909 and flourished in the early 1920s and 1938 and acquired the neighboring properties. In 1939 it was merged with Van den Bergh’s Margarine and gave up its company name.

VEB Wälzlagerfabrik Josef-Orlopp-Straße 92-96

Wälzlagerfabrik “Josef Orlopp” started its production in 1937. Af ter the WWII, the production initially served as a reparation payment for the Soviet Union. Around 1947 the facilities were returned to German ownership and until the end of the GDR, production and premesis was continuously expanded.

Gebr. Siemens & Co. merged with the Plania works of Rütgerswerke AG, a leading coal chemistry company. The holding company was renamed Siemens-Planiaw erke AG. The new company was the largest European producer of carbon electrodes and other large amorphous coals.

What is the CO-HAB Configurator?

Chapter III.

is CO-HAB Configurator?

CO-HAB configurator” is an intermediate digital tool that enables architecture to fit within a complex web of interconnected actors and communicate with the residents. The residents are provided the infrastructure, including the commons, and marked the three different housing territories by the architects to pick, explore possibilities, and begin their design journey. After signing in with their housemate’s team and deciding on a territory, they are given a list of components to use as a toolkit to create their private rooms and shared areas.

CO-HAB Configurator:

The AI would then hybridize their given input to develop different options based on various criteria that are considered based on the cooperative strategies. It is meant to be a fun multiplayer game to facilitate the participatory design processes but still includes the residents’ ideas and desires in a more orchestrated way.

The Cohab-configurator guidelines:

*the shared core are spaces of the collective program.

*the satellite rooms are flexible personal spaces that complete the housing typologies.

*satellite rooms can be attached to more than one shared core.

*all the shared cores must have 2 access points.

*the mediator area should cover minimum 30% of each floor

*the structure system should use adaptive, affordable and ecological materials and design principles.

* maintain the existing structure as much as possible and upcycle the demolition debris

Epilogue

Maria Dimitroudi, Hanie Norouzzadeh, Theodoros Tselepidis

Future of the model:

We wish this alternative model to suport a growing network of similar cooperative projects in the post-industrial yards of Berlin. It could emerge as en alternative typology to change neighborhoods with similar characteristics and critical conditions. It is needed to imagine new forms of dwelling that could answer the question “ How can we live together? “,as well as, introduce new forms of ownership and sustainable construction models, in order to approach a solution to the housing crisis, escaping the speculative real estate market and future gentrification in the area. By empowering the local scale, oppotunities can arise for autonomy,

transformations and selfdefinition in the everyday life.

It is not only about building a house and filling in it with people who pay the rent. It has to do about creating a community and express the city’s real picture: heterogeneity. The model of individual living doesn’t seem to be relevant any more. More hybrid models of co-existing need to take the place of the old isolated housing units. We tried to create a typology ,in which, this hetergoneous identity can be inscribed, and introduce an alternative model of ownership and living, based on collectivity and participation that is built up on a digital platform.

Note:

We would like to state that it is hard and a paradox to seperate our work, as we have an horizontal working mode and all of us are present and affect equally the project stages, decisions and design directions. Although, for regulation reasons, we will include below the postproduction parts, that each of us had the main responsibility in excecution.
