DEFINITION INTEGRATION INTRODUCTION LOCATION GERMANY
REFUGEES IN TEMPELHOF In 2015, following the European refugee crisis, four out of the seven hangars in Tempelhof have become shelter for approximately 2000 refugees, it is considered the republic of Germany biggest refugee camp. This situation has forced the government of Berlin to change the former decision to give the entire former airport and field to its citizens.

Tempelhof is again in a new phase, where over about 800 people sleep on bunk beds in a makeshift dormitory. It is not surprising to conclude that Tempelhof was not designed for living and managing such a place and situation, it have been a challenging for the organizers. Challenges includes, safety for women who work/volunteer for the refugee organizations and women who refugee, creating a conflict environment with different nationalities and cultures to considers, help for traumatized children and families, and others. In April 2016, the German parliament passed a new law that allowed temporary structures to be built on the Tempelhof grounds for the refugees for a restricted period of three years. The areas approved for development is limited to Apron (Tarmac) of Tempelhof. This new law, called “Tempelhof Light�, has nothing in common to the original plans proposed by the senate years ago. This decision has not come without concerns or criticism. The opposition states that Tempelhof hangers are not habitable in the longer term and that the refugees living there are in below standard conditions. They also claim that planning is inefficient, and that Tempelhof is on its way to becoming a ghetto of refugees, with little or no prospects and high levels of depression among its residents.
LIMITATION AND STRENGHTHS During the work, the groups faced some limitations, such as the short time - only 4 days in the field -; some language barriers for the interviews, not many people speaking english, and also for the research, since many texts were in german and did not have an adequate translation; work off the site, because the work was done by distance, and finally, the cultural differences, once the students are not germans and they did not know about the current situation from the inside.

Groups of Atelier Berlin main task was to propose facilities that will improve the living conditions of refugees living in Tempelhof and be beneficial for all other residents; in addition, the groups must think about how to integrate these refugees better with Berlin population and make a review of the current proposal and plan for the area, in order to come up with innovative but practical proposals for the use of Tempelhof.

First they made a field trip to get in contact with the place; thus some classes about the field and its history was given, several visits to it were made, and some interviews and questionnaires were done in diverse areas of the city trying to get different perspectives about people’s opinion of the situation Berlin faces now with the arrival of refugees. Than, back to Rotterdam, The work was focused in data collection and mapping of some relevant points of the area for each group. After that, using the methodology developed by ihs, a problem analysis and stakeholder analysis were made and visions and objectives for the field were set for each thematic group, followed by strategies and actions formulation.

INCOME AND RESOURCE GENERATION ALOISIO PEREIRA . CAMILA CABRAL . CLARA CARDOSO . GUSTAVO KONRAD HUGO BUSTAMANTE . LAIS BONI VALIERIS . MAURICIO STORCHI . MAIARA CAMILOTTI
DEFINITION According to UNESCO (1993), income and resource generation can take many forms. However, these forms primarily refer to a range of productive activities or skills used by people in order to gain resources or increase income. Resources can be understood in three fronts; financial, physical, and human resources. UNESCO classifies three ways of how income and resources can be generated: 1 – Utilizing skills to meet immediate needs and achieve savings rather than financial generation reliant on income. E.g.: a productive person produces enough food to feed themselves and their family (a money value can be placed on the food produced and so the food can be seen as income – measurable value on the goods and services people produce) (UNESCO 1993).
DIAGNOSIS (p.32). Income and resource generating programmes aim to support the disadvantaged population in generating sufficient income to provide for themselves and/or their families. In the case of refugees,, people are arriving in vastly different societies in comparison to their own cultures. Within the classification of UNESCO, it is important to highlight that the most imperative methods of income and resource generation for refugees are primarily self sustaining mechanisms. Meaning, refugees are reliant on exchanging work for food and shelter while learning about Germany’s cultural rules and language in order to enter the market with adequate skills and resources. Moreover, refugees must obtain financial, cultural and social skills necessary to obtain available jobs and discover windows of opportunity for entrepreneurship.
2 – A person can generate income through the astute investment of existing resources. E.g.: the development of a piece of land through planting a crop for sale. The money gained is income. An indirect form of investment is to bank savings or to purchase part ownership (shares) in a productive enterprise, such as a business. Money generated from such investments can be classified as income (UNESCO, 1993). 3 – The use of skills to serve another person who pays for the use of those skills (the earning of wages) or explore windows of opportunity in the economy/market. E.g.: self-employment, working for others, or by adding to personal resources through investment” (UNESCO, 1993). According to UNESCO (1993), Governments and nations have the responsibility to look after their citizens. In our society, and consequently those within governments and nations, there are disadvantaged persons who, “if provided with support, could become self-supporting” 14

UNESCO classifies three one. UNESCO classifies three ways of how income and ways of income and resources canhow be generated. resources can be generated.
PRIMARY DATA One of the weaknesses of the city of Berlin is the analysis of the results from the field research employment opportunities, a finding that was further supported by desk research, which showed higher unemployment rates in Berlin compared to the German average. (EURES, 2016) However, unemployment rates appear to be caused by a discrepancy between the supply and demand regarding different types of workers. This is suggested by the high number of job vacancies (2.6%) which accompanies this unemployment rate (Eurostat, 2015b).

It was also revealed during our research that approximately 20% of incoming refugees had received higher education, and thus would be able to work in higher skilled jobs. This information, and the supposition that these refugees are really, contrary to part of popular perception, resourceful and proactive people, are supported by news of flourishing commercial and productive activity in refugee camps in Jordan, where refugees are allowed to work and create enterprises.

VOCATIV, 2015
Due to the high degree of education within the refugee population, our research formulated an image of competent young men, some with higher education, mostly Syrian, but almost inescapably from muslim origins. This information led us to investigate the possibilities of refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants as entrepreneurs. Pursuing this line of inquiry, we found that the requirements for foreigners in Germany to be self-employed or entrepreneurs are higher than for EUROSTAT, 2015 nationals. This has created additional barriers for for- WHY? SHORT CYCLE STRATEGY eigners who must contend with the challenges of an SELF-EMPLOYMENT RATE OF THE POPULATION alien environment and culture. If these barriers were significant, one could hypothesize that a disparity between self-employment and entrepreneurship between foreigners and German nationals would appear in the data. With further research, it was apparent that this polarity of self-employment between foreigners and German nationals exists within German society. Although non-EU citizens represent 5% of Germany’s populaGERMANS NON-EU CITIZENS EUROSTAT, 2015 SHORT CYCLE tion (Eurostat, 2014), they represent only 4.45% of the self-employed. This gap equals a “self-employment deficiency” of upwards 35000 people (Eurostat, 2015d). Working on an integration of refugees and immigrants that transcends the e job market and focusses on the economy at whole, a lead in our research was discovered. The integration of refugees works to offset potential disadvantages and enables them to create enterprises, and consequently create jobs. Incidentally, we later found such strategy to be partly supported by Eurostat, 2016. Cambridge researchers in a paper about entrepreneurEUROSTAT, 2015 ship and innovation in refugee camps in Jordan (Haugh and de la Chaux, 2015).

SECONDARY DATA After forming a picture of Berlin’s economy and general issues, to further advance our research pursuits, we sought to acquire further information directly related to immigrants, refugees and asylum-seekers. To proceed with a more clear understanding of the refugee’s background, we needed to know which nationalities composed the refugee population in Germany. Among the first things we found out were that Syrians composed the majority of the incoming refugees, distantly followed by Afghans and Iraqis. Secondly it was discovered that over 70% of the refugees coming to Germany were male, and that over 50% of them were between 18 and 35 years of age (Eurostat, 2015d).

MAPPING The mapping, according to the definition of income and resource generation, aims to highlight the local commerce and services as part of opportunities for work. These opportunities are in a close distance from the Tempelhof refugee camp, such as mini markets, restaurants, cafes, and various other services., In order to analyse the area’s connectivity with the city, the available transport system, facilities and amenities (hospitals, health centers, and police offices) were recorded. Using participative methods, a map was created by refugees, working to highlight the important areas and services in the city in their perspective. These important factors, as noted by the refugees, included law services , libraries, educational centers, food markets, useful facilities and etc. This initiative fits with our work as it is an important tool to explore facilities and places that provide opportunities to generate resources and income.
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS The stakeholder analysis aims in evaluate institutions, parties, governments, NGOs and target groups that influence and could influence in the project’s development. For the present work, the stakeholders are listed above. The stakeholder network maps the connections between each stakeholder. The strength of the inter-relations and connections between stakeholders is represented by the varying thickness of lines. In the current analysis , it is important to highlight the roles of the two scales of government (German and the municipality of Berlin) as pillars of the refugee influx. These bodies of government play the role of opening their borders and allocating the refugees, including all the financial and physical elements (provision of shelters, food, money, assistance, etc.). The Voluntary Initiatives, working in a huge variety of areas, including

housing, education, job opportunities, integration in the german society, calling for people willing to help, and filling the government’s gaps in the refugee crisis. The desired outcome involved strong connections built between the refugees and educational institutions, job centers, and voluntary initiatives. Which would be in high interest and high power position, and the Job Centers need to be connected to the public power represented by the Municipality of Berlin. To understand how to properly integrate the incoming refugees and previously sheltered asylum seekers in the German economy, we first needed to have a broad, reasonably precise, picture of the Berlin and German economy. A report by the Berlin’s municipality, titled “Berlin – A success story Facts, Figures, Statistics”, was instrumental in generating this image. The report revealed Berlin as having a high unemployment rate when compared to the rest of Germany, but also revealed that this rate has been falling for 20 consecutive years. Furthermore, the rapid rise of Berlin’s artistic scene has brought an increase of growth to the tourism sector of the economy. Moreover, the creativity of the city is not limited only to art; Berlin also became, in recent years, Germany’s start up capital and a strong challenger to München’s TI hegemony (Press and Information Office of the Federal State of Berlin, 2014) (EURES, 2016).

PERCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM

The EU are facing daily problem regarding the influx of refugees. The comitee are facing different opinions of the participant countries, some are closing borders or have been reducing quotas. Currently, there are different opininos and too much tension among the countries. Tension over the refugee crisis is testing the cohesion of the European Union and pushing its free-movement Schengen agreement to the point of collapse.THE TURKEY CASE: EU WILL :6) Evacuate completely refugees from the Greek islands and readmit only those, who crossed into the islands after a date to be determined. 7) Cover the cost incurred [in the Readmission process.] 8) Referring to Point 5 of the EU-Turkey Statement of 29 November 2015, instead of October, Adopt and implement a relevant EU Council Regulation to realize the lifting of visa requirements for the Turkish citizens in the Schengen zone, by latest end of June 2016, based on an accelerated roadmap, dedicated support and in conjunction with the Readmission Agreement. 9) Effectively and expeditiously resettle Syrians from Turkey based on the formula referred to in Article 4 to balance on a monthly basis, and cooperate with Turkey in any joint endeavour to establish humanitarian safe areas inside Syria. 10) Prepare for the decision on the opening of new chapters (the accession of Turkey to the EU) 11) Expedite and facilitate the transfer and disbursement of the Refugee Facility for Syrians and decide upon an additional facility of Euro 3 billion until the end of 2018. 12) Review progress jointly with Turkey on monthly basis, including on mutually agreed appropriate locations.

Due to the crisis, the current goverment are facing different protests and there are rasing opposity political ideology parties and movements. Protest are taking place in the streets. Yet the number of asylum seekers arriving in central Europe has dropped off considerably in recent weeks due to Balkan countries sealing off their borders and the European Union and Turkey agreeing on a deal to return refugees arriving in Greece. However, Germany is the the EU country that most receved and are receving refugees. The influx is high and there are not sufficient (or qualify) support or infrastructure and there are doughts about where all those people will work and live. But, there are other poit of view, that the active economicaly population is getting older and leave the market, and germany need young workers to solve the negative population groth and future colapse of the labour force stock. "But well before the end of the year, the mood had begun to sour. As the influx continued, even some of Merkel's own supporters began to voice concerns about when it would end and to question exactly how so many people from other cultures were going to be absorbed. Then over the New Year came widely reported allegations of sexual assault on German women by asylum seeker and illegal immigrant men in Cologne and other cities closely followed by claims that the authorities had failed to prevent the attacks because of "political correctness"."
The city has been receving a huge number of refugees even not being the city with the better rates in what reffers to unemployment, job opportunities and consider one of the Local goverment porest cities in the Germany.

PERCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM
International
The EU are facing daily problem regarding the influx of refugees. The comitee are facing different opinions of the participant countries, some are closing borders or have been reducing quotas. Currently, there are different opininos and too much tension among the countries. Tension over the refugee crisis is testing the cohesion of the European Union and pushing its free-movement Schengen agreement to the point of collapse.THE TURKEY CASE: EU WILL :6) Evacuate completely refugees from the Greek islands and readmit only those, who crossed into the islands after a date to be determined. 7) Cover the cost incurred [in the Readmission process.] 8) Referring to Point 5 of the EU-Turkey Statement of 29 November 2015, instead of October, Adopt and implement a relevant EU Council Regulation to realize the lifting of visa requirements for the Turkish citizens in the Schengen zone, by latest end of June 2016, based on an accelerated roadmap, dedicated support and in conjunction with the Readmission Agreement. 9) Effectively and expeditiously resettle Syrians from Turkey based on the formula referred to in Article 4 to balance on a monthly basis, and cooperate with Turkey in any joint endeavour to establish humanitarian safe areas inside Syria. 10) Prepare for the decision on the opening of new chapters (the accession of Turkey to the EU) 11) Expedite and facilitate the transfer and disbursement of the Refugee Facility for Syrians and decide upon an additional facility of Euro 3 billion until the end of 2018. 12) Review progress jointly with Turkey on monthly basis, including on mutually agreed appropriate locations.

Due to the crisis, the current goverment are facing different protests and there are rasing opposity political ideology parties and movements. Protest are taking place in the streets. Yet the number of asylum seekers arriving in central Europe has dropped off considerably in recent weeks due to Balkan countries sealing off their borders and the European Union and Turkey agreeing on a deal to return refugees arriving in Greece. However, Germany is the the EU country that most receved and are receving refugees.

SWOT AND PROBLEM TREE THE SWOT The SWOT analyses (a tool that recognizes and analyzes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) was used to assist and complement the analysis conducted in the problem tree. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats regarding the life of refugees within the context of Berlin as a city and Tempelhof as a refugee camp are highlighted. The objective was to determine the positive aspects of situations and combine them with the negative ones to produce new proposals, recognize the core problem, and move forward with our research. The highlighted strengths of consist of 1/5 of refugees possessing a graduation diploma, a labor force dominated by young individuals, and a composition of people of different profiles, backgrounds, and skills represent a new potential source of human capital. To accompany the determined strengths, volunteer initiatives, a concentration of start-ups and private sector initiatives to help refugees were determined as opportunities within

Berlin. Weaknesses that were established include low living conditions on the Tempelhof hangars, disadvantageous job regulation for refugees, and a lack of recognition towards refugee diplomas, combined with the adverse bureaucracy and high unemployment rates, confirms the core problem of “Untapped potential human capital�. THE PROBLEM TREE Steadily increasing from 1989 to 2015, Berlin has a high unemployment rate in comparison to Germany population as a whole. As a consequence, people began to work informal part-time jobs in order to supplement their income. Contending with the rise of informal work the mini jobs were created in 2003 to legalize informal work in Germany. These jobs were often occupied by people from different areas of. Consequently, the skills possessed by people working in the informal sector are left unexplored, leading to the untapped potential human capital. Due to this rise of informal part-time jobs, untapped potential human capital remains the domi-

T
nant issue regarding income generation in Germany. An additional origin of this dominant issue is based on the European refugee crisis and the unequal distribution of the refugees in the European Union and Germany. Berlin has received a high number of refugees constrained to areas with poor living conditions, such as the hangars in Tempelhof. Therefore, refugees are faced with trauma and psychological issues,leading to the reduction of their productivity and, again, an obstacle in the exploration of their potential. Finally, the laws and the bureaucracy that exists in Germany are inappropriate for a national scale of refugee. These bureaucracy and laws prevent refugees from working until they become asylum seekers, becoming self-employed, or receiving recognition for their higher education. These factors solidify the untapped potential human capital within the refugee population. In the final analysis, there are some adverse consequences to the financial and economic situation of berliners and refugees. Firstly, some berliners are still unemployed or underemployed and cannot obtain financial security. Secondly, the creation of new businesses are obstructed by the financial instability and the problem of unemployment and economic development is not solved. Furthermore, the economic and professional dissatisfaction is increased because of financial insecurity and people get frustrated about their prospective of life. Finally,without job and financial opportunities, refugees and asylum seekers may remain in a cycle of low income work and increased segregation from German society.

LONG CYCLE
VISION
The objective in three years is to provide opportunities for 70% of the refugees between 16 and 25 years in order to agregate knowledge to their existing skills and/or develop new ones, with the purpose of uplift the human resources and start the process of integration through knowledge, reducing idleness and depression in the refugee camp.
The objective after the three first years is to take advantage of the developed human capital to integrate at least 60% the refugees between 16 and 25 years, not only in the labour maket, but also in German society, empower them to explore windows of opportunities in Berlin. As a legacy, it can be expanded to new refugees influx, migrants and berliners.
Take advantage of the recurring use of Tempelhof Park by berliners and the garbage generated by them and the surrouding area, creating a collection center so that refugees can generate income by selling recyclable material and products.

After discussing all objectives and strategies, a timeline was developed to organize ideas and establish a plan to put into practice. The short cycle strategy requires a partnership between job centers and key stakeholders that will adopt responsibility for the counselling, vocational education, and transition into training and work. The administration of the facilities will maintain the partnership and create a database of professional profiles for refugees. Simultaneously, introductory courses to understand German bureaucracy and society will be taught by private sector initiatives, such as migration and social counselling centres. Right after this introduction, private sectors, such as Bundesagentur für Arbeit and LernNetz Berlin - Brandenburg e. V., will guide workshops and bootcamps to prepare and introduce refugees and asylum seekers to Berlin’s economy. In addition to assisting refugees in finding available jobs, which will last until the rest of the program, the job centers will spread information regarding the training project and establish networking between stakeholders. The microcredit strategy, which will be implemented before the first 3 years, will also begin with partnerships with interested banks and credits companies undertaken by job center employees. Together they will inform refugees about microcredit opportunities through lectures, printed material and presentations taking place Tempelhof. In addition, banks and credit companies will explain the processes and requirements needed to obtain a microcredit loan, such as basic level knowledge of the German language, proposal towards financial use and the completion of an interview process. The job center employees will then organise a list of interested people in receiving the microcredit and interview the refugees , study their profiles and review their proposals. Following this process, , the microcredit f will be implemented to successful candidates, with a rate of 2 to 4% per year and deadline payment of 6 to 24 months. Simultaneously, job centers, banks and credit companies will provide consulting that consists of regular meetings, to clarify questions, and monitoring to evaluate financial use, and ensure the adherence to microcredit proposals. 27

DEFINITION
DIAGNOSIS
Empowerment can be defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process of enabling people to increase control over their lives, to gain control over the factors and decisions that shape their lives, to increase their resources and qualities and to build capacities to gain access, partners, networks, a voice, in order to gain control.â&#x20AC;? (UN, 2012).
PRIMARY DATA A total of 13 Interviews and 15 surveys were conducted in Lipschitzplatz, Kottbusser Tor, Annemirl-Bauer-Platz in Berlin. There was a wide range of interviewees, ranging from 16 to 75 years old and from no education degree to master and PhD.
Education is a fundamental tool for empowerment, once it makes the individuals stronger and more selfassured, enabling them to control their lives and claim their rights. It is an effective vehicle for social change and emancipation; especially for minorities, it is an opportunity to develop awareness of their own social situation, and it also contributes to increase their confidence and self-esteem.

Within the Education and Empowerment area, some relevant information obtained is listed in the following table. The most important data obtained is highlighted.
SECONDARY DATA It became clear that a main issue in the thematic area of Education & Empowerment was the difficulty of successfully integrating into the German education system due to a variety of reasons. In order to dive further in depth of the causes of this issue, firstly we adressed the German educational system and the background of the refugees. It is important here to remark that the German educational system is intrincate and flexible, as the diagram shows. Besides that, a mapping of the educational related facilities around the area of study was done, as was a stakeholder analysis of the actors who are relevant to this project. After this extensive phase of collecting information, the team was able to get a clearer picture of the core problem of the thematic area, which is displayed in the problem tree.

DEFINITION
The thematic area Sports & Recreation is rarely given importance in an emergency situation such as the current refugee crisis going on in the European Union. However, due to its potential to increase people’s well being, mental and physical health as well as build up social integration; Sports & Recreation should get more attention when developing initiatives to tackle the current issues in the city of Berlin. Moreover, sports take an important part in the German society. The country offers several opportunities for outdoor and indoor practices through the existence of approximately 91,000 sports clubs and availability of numerous sport facilities – nearly 23,500 gymnasiums and 11,800 sports fields. One German in three is a member of a sport club.
“Sport can assist in building links and trust within refugees communities, and between refugees and the broader community (...). It is the entry point for the wider participation of refugees in community life.” (McNamara, 2001).
DIAGNOSIS PRIMARY DATA In summary, the primary data consists in the field data collection, which eighteen interviews were made in differents locations of Berlin, in order to acquire more conistents data. The content acquired showed that berliners are satisfied about the sports facilities, the green areas and recreation/leisure of the city, besides the fact that berliners, by our data collected, are sportivy citizens.
Berlin’s, the German capital’s, statistics do not fall behind. In 2013 around 600,000 Berliners were registered in more than 2,300 amateur sports clubs that exist in the city. (Der Landessportbund Berlin - Mitglieder) Regarding the refugees’ countries of origin, despite their different cultural background respecting religion, language, political views, traditions and habits, in relation to Sports & Recreation, they have their common points. Soccer, for instance, is the most popular and practiced sport in Berlin, Germany and in the Middle East. Besides, Music festivals used to take place in Iraq and are really common in Berlin. Films have also been produced in Syria since the 1920s, as well as cinema has its importance in the city of Berlin, which holds annually an International Film Festival. Therefore, the main goal of the group consisted of harnessing the most of the universal language, sociable, interactive and transformer capacity of sports and recreational activities in order to improve mental and physical health of refugees living in Tempelhof refugee camp, as well as their opportunities to integrate with German society in the city of Berlin. 54
SECONDARY DATA After our first week in Berlin, collecting the primary data, we started to focus in the refugee crises by searching more about who are the refugees and its cultural backgorund, factors which are extremily important in matter that the project it is going to be directed to the refugees. In the table below shows the data collected about the refugees and other aspects which it is important to mention is the mutual aspects between theses cultures with the german culture, a few of this aspects is the football as the most played sport and how music and arts is a important backgorund in the refugees culture specially in the syrian culture.Others aspects can also be mentioned, as one of them is the position of woman because of their religion and their communities.
part of German’s life and culture, being an essential component for the society. For example in Berlin 12% of the land use is for recreational, besides the percentage of 18.4% of forest land. Contextualizing Tempelhof is a former Nazi airport that after being used for many different purposes, was decided to be kept intact as an open field addressed for public use in a referendum that took place in Berlin. Nowadays, it is, thus, a place where outdoor recreational activities and different sport practices take place. Moreover, it is a great potential meeting point for all ages and classes, with barbecue areas as well as many other open spaces.
“This can be a particularly significant barrier for women, whose opportunities to participate in sport can be limited by both the nature sporting environments themselves and restrictions from within their own communities” (Keogh 2002, p. 8; Taylor & Toohey 1998, p. 8). For instance, the need to wear uniforms or other sports attire may be a barrier to participation for women whose religious or cultural traditions mandate certain dress codes (Cortis & Muir 2007, p. v; CEH 2006, p. 13; Keogh 2002, p. 8).
Moreover, we started to realize how the sport could be a tool of integration, since several barriers as language, culture, religion are seen between the refugees and berliners. Since that, sport as commom language..
Recently, though, in response to the refugee crisis, the hangars of Tempelhof building have been occupied as an emergency refugee camp. Along with these transformations, sports facilities throughout the city have been confiscated in order to be converted in more refugee shelters. However, with the worsening of the refugee crisis, the tremendously high influx of refugees in the city of Berlin led to the necessity of more space to house them. Considering the amount of unoccupied spaces in the Tempelhof building, the government have decided to expand the refugee center in the former Nazi airport, transforming it in one of the biggest refugees camp in the country. Consequently, tensions are being built up between berliners, the government and the refugees. In the case of the confiscated sport facilities, many sport clubs are being affected, as they are losing members and their programs for refugees’ integration through sports are being prevented from taking place. Regarding Tempelhof, many Berliners are against the expansion of the refugee camp, as the construction of new shelters and facilities goes against the decision of not building in the Tempelhof area for the the next 10 years. From this search based on a SWOT and Stakeholder analysis, the group could develop two different strategies: a short-term one for the first 3 years – time that Tempelhof is used as an expanded refugee camp –, and a long-term one for the following years – after the refugees have left Tempelhof.
Sport is an important part of German society and the country offers several opportunities for outdoor and indoor sports. Germans practice a lot of activities such as Football, Running, Golf, Table tennis, Martial arts and Cycling. Football is the most popular sport and the german team is very good on it. The country has a lot of sports clubs and several people are engaged on it; in 2006 about 27.5 million people were members of the more than 91,000 sport clubs in Germany. These clubs charge a membership fees, which depend on the type of the practiced activity .In this way, Berlin, the german capital, is a major sporting centre in Germany and Europe. In 2013 around 600.000 Berliners were registered in more than 2.300 amateur sports clubs. (Der Landessportbund Berlin - Mitglieder) - around 17%. Comprehending the importance of sports and activities in Germany, we can conclude it compose an important

MAPPING
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS
Below, it is possible to realize that Berlin is a city with a large number of green aereas, which provides a background of citizens who are used to have access and use, in case of the primary study that interviews showed berliners as proactive sport players. And the map of cultural activities, just a few points whixh are concentrate in a specific aprt of the city, thus it is importan to the group to work in project that also put a cultural activity in this area of Berlin, where seems to lack of this resource.
In a project with such importance and range, it is fundamental to understand and analyze all the affected by the project and their participation in the process. Sometimes completely different one from each other, these stakeholders may and usually do present divergent and even conflicting points of view and objectives. In this scenario, it extremely important for the success of the project to know minutely how powerful and interested these actors are. Also, how compromised they are with the project, what do they have to offer to it and to gain with it, and how will they affect and be affected. Such analysis and a scheme of how would be the ideal situation follow.
One important part of this work it is to map the around area where it is going to be work, in this case Tempelhof. This group made several maps, but just two were put in this handbook, they considered the most important ones, green areas and cultural activities. Since, the theme is sports, recreation and leisure, mapping green areas which are related to parks and leisure, and cultural activities with recreation.

SWOT
As explained in the introduction, the SWOT analysis consists in identify the strengths, weakness, opportunities and the threats of one subject studied. Thereby, we analyzed Tempelhof by this system and acquired some points which are highlighted as it is possible to notice aside. In the field of strengths, it is important to highlighted the potential meeting point for Berliners of all ages and classes, which is an important fact to be consider since the infrastructure and localization of Tempelhof itself, another point is the designed to accommodate a large audience for parades and big events, since the theme of this chapter is sports, recreation and leisure. At last, the variety of spaces and feeling of freedom, because once Tempelhof was an airport, a huge field of plane lane, promoting a feeling of freedom and the possibility of diverse use of it. Against its weakness, the main fact was the refugee crisis, because the camp inside the building does not have the proper infrastructure and prevent events to happen there, which were the income for the building maintenance, which it is another around 12 million euros per year. Besides this situation, Tempelhof has itself opportunities as the existence of many activities in its field, beyond the fact that 50% of refugees are under 18 years old, what provides a large range of possible activities. Another point which was highlighted is the freedom expression in Germany comparing to the country where the refugees come from. At last, the threats which consists in outside facts as the growing of the right party, conservative, against the refugee flux, and the raise of hosing price in Berlin in the last years, and ,dealing with our theme, how sports are not see as priority in emergency situations.
PROBLEM TREE In order to propose facilities that will improve the living conditions of refugees in Tempelhof, it’s crucial a detailed analysis of the overall situation. That includes the identification of the stakeholders involved, of the existing problems, of their origins, and of what they are leading to. An academic tool used to accomplish that, is a problem tree, which consists basically on cause effect study. A Berlin’s landmark, Tempelholf has significant historical and emotional value for the Berliners, and has functioned, after a referendum decision, as a park with free entrance. Since 2015, it has also showed its importance in a different way. Following the European refugee crisis, it has been used as temporary shelter, becoming Germany’s biggest refugee camp. Dealing with such a serious theme as the refugee crisis, sports, recreation and leisure are usually put aside, being considered not so important in such emergency scenario. Cultural and sports events that used to take place in the airport area, for instance, are less frequent or no longer happen. Also, to allocate the unexpected high influx of refugees, several sports clubs in Berlin were confiscated and are now occupied by asylum seekers. With that, an unsatisfaction with the unavailability of sports and recreational facilities by part of the Berliners has emerged. Initially, a simple problem, this unsatisfaction may bring to light, more complex issues. A possible Berliners’ unawareness about refugees’ situation combined with the highlight of cultural differences may, doubtless, strength the feeling of invasion or “threat”. With that, come both the undermined trust between Berliners and government and a difficulty to integrate asylum seekers in German society. These links most clearly observed with the following problem tree.
58
Sports and recreation are not seen as priority in the current emergency situation, unfulfilling its potential to increase peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing. Thus, refugeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental and physical health as well as their opportunity to integrate in the german society are hindered.

In order to achieve such aspiration, the first suggestion is to contact sport clubs near Tempelhof in pursuance of creating an organization to build up a Tempelhof sport club. As many sport clubs have their facilities confiscated, their activities are frozen and their volunteers could be available to serve as human resources by working with sports for refugees in Tempelhof – in the new sports facilities that are planned to be built in the refugee camp. After the consolidation of Tempelhof sport club organization, the idea is to open, in the beginning of every month, physical and online subscriptions for volunteers that are free to bring in new ideas of activities to offer. After all subscriptions have been submitted, a monthly internal agenda of activities should be organized by the sport club organization in order to keep the sport facilities in constant use and offering different activities for the refugees. The organization is in charge of managing the activities in order to guarantee that they are adequate to their target groups, respecting age, gender, cultural and religious differences. Moreover, they are responsible for ensuring that there is a good range of activities that can include all refugees in the agenda. “For instance, the need to wear uniforms or other sports attire may be a barrier to participation for women whose religious or cultural traditions mandate certain dress codes.” (Cortis & Muir 2007, p. v; CEH 2006, p. 13; Keogh 2002, p. 8). “This can be a particularly significant barrier for women, whose opportunities to participate in sport can be limited by both the nature sporting environments themselves and restrictions from within their own communi-

(Keogh 2002, p. 8; Taylor & Toohey 1998, p. 8) After gaining experience with organizing an internal agenda of sport and recreational activities for Tempelhof, the organization should, then, focus on organizing an external agenda, with activities that are planned to happen beyond the refugee camp, aiming at integrating refugees and berliners through sport. For such agenda, it is suggested the execution of a Sports day from 3 to 3 months. In this event, refugees, migrants and berliners are all invited to participate in a day dedicated to a different sport. It would take place in the Tempelhofer feld, open to the community.

LONG TERM For long term, our strategy is, first of all, to assure that the Tempelhof building is unoccupied. After that, we intend to restructure the Organization in charge of the sport facilities, because the internal and the external agendas will be no longer necessaries, and the objective of the Organization will be to promote recreational, leisure, sports and capacity building events at Tempelhof. The restructured Organization will deal with two possible scenarios: 1 - If the sport facilities are maintained in the Apron, the Organisation will have the task to manage those facilities (creating a schedule for sport clubs and other institutions to use them), to inform about Tempelhof’s activities by means of social medias and to organize an sportive and cultural annual event, which we will call Sportive and Cultural Weekend. 2 - If the facilities are removed, the Organisation will only have the task to inform about Tempelhof’s activities by means of social medias and to organize this Sportive and Cultural Weekend. Regarding the Sportive and Cultural Weekend, the most important thing is to use this annual event to promote Tempelhof as an important patrimony of the berliners, attracting as many people as possible 64
to the event and showing them the large amount of possibilities of activities that the park can host. Also, the event is a possibility to celebrate, remember and enhance the recent history of the openness of Berlin to welcome and inteopenness and receptivity of Berlin,
whereby sports and cultural events interests meet, putting aside differences, increasing trust and linking them naturally, encouraging wider integration in the community.”

SECURITY AND SAFETY AGATHA KNOX . CARLO SCOTONI . CRISTINA ARAÚJO . GABRIELA PEDROSO HUGO GUEDES . NATÁLIA BAÊTA . MONYSE TAKAKI . PEDRO MARÇAL
DEFINITION
DIAGNOSIS
Weaknesses of Berlin
PRIMARY DATA According to the Oxford dictionary, SAFETY can be defined as the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury. Whereas SECURITY includes the state of being safe, but also considers stability, and freedom from fear or anxiety. In that sense, it is important to analyze, beyond cases of violence or other crimes, the causes of fear, stress and depression amongst people related to Tempelhof, which affects indirectly, but strongly, the safety of people inside and outside the shelters, their potential of being well integrated and having future prospects. Human security, in its broadest sense, embraces far more than the absence of violent conflict. It encompasses human rights, good governance, access to education and health care and ensuring that each individual has opportunities and choices to fulfill his or her potential. Every step in this direction is also a step towards reducing poverty, achieving economic growth and preventing conflict.
Even though there is a language barrier, added to the cultural one, this work provides a fresh perspective to local problems. In order to acquire basic information about people´s needs, which are hardly acquired from newspapers, some interviews were made and analyzed, revealing some important data: • There is a significant insatisfaction about the rent prices and consequently, commuting distance of people that are forced to live away from the city center. • People miss housing developments and job opportunities. • There is not a high concern about safety in Berlin, nor in Tempelhof. • Some people presented concern about the refugee’s integration and right wing parties’ increasing popularity, which goes in line with Berlin’s openness to diversity claim • Others are worried about overcrowding, competition for houses and jobs, ghetto creation and crime rates. These concerns may represent barriers to the integration of the newcomers.

What would you like to see developed or improved in Berlin?
SECONDARY DATA This part of the research comprehends issues from different levels: Berlin and Tempelhof. From external factors such as economy to local rates of violence, crimes, the number of police station and other objective factors of safety and security, which, in combination with the subjective data from the interviews and other news found throughout the internet, enables a perspective of the main problem to be dealt with through Tempelhof project. Since the shelters could not be accessed for primary data collection, the internet was the main source of information. Regarding economic factors, Berlin is not prosperous in comparison with other German states since its average income is below the national level. The main reason is high unemployment, which has risen a lot since German reunification. Politically, the delays in the Brandenburg Airport construction contributed to reduce the former mayor’s popularity over the years and create a sense of distrust in the government. (The Guardian, 2014) In addition, Merkel’s popularity has been up and down, leading to polarized public opinions and a general political instability and conflicts, especialy after the Cologne attacks. (The Telegraph, 2016) These social and political clashes create a sense of instability, affecting the security feeling for both refugees and berliners.
Regarding the level of safety, Berlin is the 3rd city in the rate of criminality in Germany, just behind Cologne (2nd) and Frankfurt am main (1st). (The Local, 2013). The number of robberies, however is declining according to a document made by the Governing Mayor of Berlin in 2014. Even though the Neukolln are, near Tempelhof, still presents problems with drugs, the levels of robberies and violence have reduced due to investments in the area. There is no evidence of increase in the crime rate since the arrival of refugees. Even so, there is a strong presence of headlines reffering to singular cases as “migrant” violence or crime wave, reinforcing the negative image of all refugees. The city has a historical background of intense conflicts, and the present moment shows different interests struggling. On the bright side, there are several initiatives and organizations of and for refugees in Berlin, which represent important stakeholders and a positive feedback to change: • Give Something Back to Berlin • Berlin Refugee Movement • Berlin Center for Torture Victims and Center for Refugee and Migration Services • Federal Office for Migration and Refugees • Start with a Friend • IWSpace - International Women’s Space Berlin

STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS TEMPELHOF AREA In a closer scale of observation, the Tempelhof building has a both positive and negative historical image. Even though it was used during the Second World War as a weapon industry, considered for some as a “gloomy, cold and inhospitable” site, the airport was also used to offer food supplies during the cold war. The airlift times remain in people’s minds as a symbol of hope in time of need. Still, for people that are fleeing from war, to be reminded of war by the architecture of the building must be unpleasant. Inside Tempelhof hangars there were some related cases of sexual abuse from refugees and from the police, generally attributed to the little organization in shelters. There is a general lack of adequate infrastructure such as separated bathrooms, no privacy, overcrowding and cultural conflicts from incompatible groups allocated together that lead to that scenario. In April 1st 2016, nevertheless, the German’s Ministry offered 200€ Million to be used by the Municipalities with no loan interests to fight sex abuse inside refugee camps. This money, plus the government plans for Tempelhof Apron (dealing with infrastructure), show that this safety issue is already being taken care of.
72
One drawback for the project is that berliners have fought to keep the field free from private initiative and are afraid that the government might disrespect the referendum’s results, which stated that nothing should be permanently built in the field, so that it continues to be an open park to everyone. It is a greatly treasured space in the middle of the city, used even in the middle of the week. So, the fact that the government allowed constructions as an emergency action explained by the refugee crisis was not enough, some people still fear that it was an excuse to slowly take over the field, as commented during interviews.
The objective of this analysis was to find the main actors that might enable the project and specific objectives of the security and safety perspective, the possible participants and the ones that may be against it or influence it in any way. Besides the national and international institutions dealing with the refugee issue, it is interesting to mention the work of the local government of Berlin as an organizer and financer. Also, the NGOs, CBOs and other independent organizations that may provide the necessary human capital. These initiatives deal with broad issues such as housing, education, jobs and integration, all that have a strong influence on the sense of security of the individual. The media is also mentioned as an important context setter since security, as a subjective factor, is largely affected by the mass information.
CURRENT SITUATION
DESIRED SITUATION The desired situation on that case is that the media increases in interest about the project, so that its influence is positive. Also, to bring the NGOs and existing organizations as players, along with the close neighborhoods to contribute to the activities and enable an easier integration.
73
SWOT By highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (the first two related to Tempelhof, the later concerning Berlin and other external factors), it was possible to confirm the specific problems and discover alternative solutions to complex problems by combining strengths and opportunities.
PROBLEM TREE Recently, the huge influx of immigrants due to the Middle East war and other conflicts, also fueled because of the negative birth rate in Germany, has created barriers inside the cities. For instance the difficulty to understand the immigration process because of language and the poor livability and insufficient infrastructure of the dormitories. All of this leads to an environment of stress and intolerance that hinders the newcomersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adjustment to a new reality. In addition, the financial crises in Berlin has resulted in a high unemployment rate, shortage in housing and contributes to the delay of government projects which leads to a general instability in different sectors of Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society. This context also creates the feeling of insecurity in Berliners regarding their future and the newcomers. Finally, the cultural shock between Berliners and refugees have been creating conflicts and increasing sexism cases. The crimes attributed to immigrants and the right wing media manipulation generates prejudices and insecurity. The consequences are: the refugees difficulty to be integrated in the German society, low perspective to get a job from both sides with economic and social impacts, xenophobia and the division of the society in political lines, for example the increasing popularity of AFD party in 10% from 2014 to 2016. As mentioned before, Tempelhof has a lot of infrastructure and organizational problems that result in conflicts and violence inside the shelters. However, considering that there are government investments and projects already dealing with subjects such as sex abuse and better shelter infrastructure (such as the apron project from the German government that includes kitchen, lockers, separated bathrooms, etc), other important issues, subjective, but urgent, come to the main problem line. Therefore, the focus of the following work is not directly safety, but the insecurity about the future, from berliners and refugees.

STRATEGIES
Bearing in mind the objective of increasing trust (reducing violence) and building social networks inside the shelters at first, by promoting tolerance, comfort and interaction, the strategy chosen is an informal place where people can integrate and spend some time, since Space for events, lounge and cultural inithere is no lounge space available anywhere else in the tiatives aiming to promote integration, Tempelhof building.

As a possibility, a flexible or modular structure would be a good way to provide several separated spaces for activities, while creating an informal atmosphere, harnessing open areas and enabling the easy spreading across the Tempelhof Apron, to supply all people as equally as possible.

After 3 years, given that the refugees are integrated and the shelters are no longer useful, the former facilities built can be adapted to serve all berliners, preserving the social aspect. Using the same location and infrastructure as the strategy before, the social center would be managed by the government to centralize and coordinate the several existing organizations and initiatives around Berlin and amplify their reach, providing physical facilities and investments. Besides, the public institutions for social assistance would also join the center. The proximity between different associations and government enables an integration between them that could strengthen their work. In that way, the space infrastructure and human capital already exist and the main action is to organize reunions to gather stakeholders and decide the management of the center. Crowdfunding is a useful tool to enable the initial events, since there is no expected budget, and later the government funds for social services and some charged events would keep the engines working. The actions have direct impacts on security and indirect impacts on safety. It fosters network building between associations and between people, while the social assistance reduces marginalization and inequality. Consequently, integration is facilitated and people’s prospects of life increase in quality, reducing violence and security in general. Besides, this strategy can be spread across the city (to where the organizations already work and in order to reach people), but Tempelhof would be structured as a center of management and support, for people and initiatives. Reminding of the airlift time, people would once again look at that field with hope. Of acceptance and aid. This would ensure the welcoming aspect of the former airport. Again, a flexible or modular structure is ideal to provide several separated spaces for offices and activities, while creating an informal space and enabling the easy spreading across the city, while keeping the base in Tempelhof.

1
INTRODUCTION We can say that health ”is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” (World Health Organization) and that the food system “refers to the processes that describe how food from a farm ends up on our table. The process include production, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal” (chgeharvard.org). The main idea of the health and food production group is to make the connection between these too related terms and what it can be improved in the refugee’s situation nowadays in the Tempelhof. It is know that the refugees arrive with numerous mental diseases and that during their stay in the refugee’s camp, they tend to lack contact with the Berliners and their food habits and routine tend to be dependent from the camp organization, increasing some problems like, prejudice, psychological traumas and little social and physical activities. As a way to minimize these problems, the group came up with some objectives and strategies to achieve a harmonic and well integrated society among all residents of Berlin, which shall be seen as a result from bottom up initiatives held in Tempelhof as a social, mental and physical healthy atmosphere
DEFINITION
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD AND HEALTH Relationship between Food and Health: The physical activity of planting, eating healthy food and having an adequate disposal are the aspects that affects physical health. In addition, social health is influenced through the interactions between people while planting and eating. Moreover, mental health is affected by food production and consumption factors that consists of planting activity and eating certain kind of food that stimulates mental health. Therefore, the quality of the activities involved in food production, consumption and disposal can directly affect physical, social and mental health.

URBAN GARDEM
benefits
Aiming to improve the mental health mainly of the refugees due to war traumas, but also of the Berliners, the expansion of the existing urban garden project is proposed. As an activity that results in more contact with nature, healthy use of time and increase knowledge, gardening is an activity that can positively contribute in treatments of stress, depression and other mental issues. In the first three years, the idea is to have an integrated space where Berliners and refugees can work, without a division physically segregating the groups. Part of the garden should be used to the refugees therapy and production, which goes to cafeteria (although it may not support the demand, it is a symbolic action of work appreciation). The other part is to the community of the surrounding area as a continuity to the existing initiative. After three years, when the refugees will not be sheltered in Tempelhof anymore, part of the urban garden must be used by the school (proposed by education group), in lessons and production, which goes to cafeteria. The other part would continue to serve the community in the surroundings as a continuity to the existing initiative. The urban garden can start in the predicted location and afterwards, if it works, the idea is to increase it size and occupy other spaces. 98

COMPLEMENTARY KITCHENS
benefits
To increase the feeling of Independence in food habits, the group came up with the proposal of the complementary kitchens, which are flexible, temporary and more compact structures that can be easily assembled. With this concept and the addition of sustainability, feasibility and innovation aspects for the complementary kitchens, the idea is to develop a project through a competition of architecture, design and engineer students. To enable the proper functioning of these structures and provide good quality spaces where refugees can cook their own meal, these facilities should work only in periods between the main meals (served by the big kitchen), in contrary it would not support the demand because complete meals are much more laborious. Therefore, the idea is to have those kitchens to prepare food for the coffee breaks, such as snacks, tea, coffee etc. After three years the complementary kitchens can be transferred to other emergency and temporary shelters.

The idea is to have courses and lectures with immigrants about typical dishes. Moreover, the intention is to offer incentives for the immigrants to participate, such as scholarships, in order to increase the opportunities of integration between cultures. The school-restaurant is also a strategy that contributes to income generation as it can employ ex-refugees that used to work in the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen as teachers for the schoolrestaurant, after a training period. Moreover, there would be theoretical classes, practical classes and a period of internship, when students would work in the restaurant (opened to the public) or in the school (proposed by education group) cafeteria.

DEFINITION CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS So in order to minimize the damages causeded by war and traumas from the past we intend to promote a healthy relation with others,(berliners and refugees) a healthy relation with nature, and a healhy relation with themselves, which will be achieved tackling the food production and consumption part throught the big kitchen and the complementary kitchen where they will have a space for independence and to do their own homecountry cousine or whatever feelsbetter for them without any condition or restrainments and also with their own production of vegetables and fruits which not only will serve for te big kitchen, but also as a therapy to occupy their time, reduce stress, rejoin with nature and increase social ties. We strongly believe that such strategies in the first 3 year will mostly aim in depression reduction due to social activities and benefits for mental health, within the post 3 years the relation will be already set among ex refugees which are now considered just migrants and the berliners themselves, with a row of activities and a technic school in tempelhof the integration will be held not only in the urban garden but also in the classrooms where both will be treated as equals.

The integration group the main task was to highlight some similarities and strengths between the groups, and show an overview of all presentations. The group realised that the objectives of each group were convergent, for instance the strategies were not, they were addressing for each thematic area core problem. As resulte, the integration group decided to formulate a own vision regarding the other teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;:
"Tempelhof as a nurturing ground for social change, highlighting opportunities in connection amongst people, where openness, diversity and receptivity go hand in hand to enhance trust and inclusion. A sound environment to support social, mental and physical health, ensure better future prospects, breaking grounds to overcome inequalities."

ACTUAL PLAN
Moreover, we proposed to reallocate the facilities, we reorganize them according to the program each one will have. In this sense, the job center, workshop space and training all together and closer to the metro station, since it will be an area that will serve not only for refugees, but also other residents. The Medical treatment room and social service center will stay together since they both are related to health and well being aspects, and they are closer to sports facilities.

The footbal field and the sports ground were together in the previous project and they hosted an open market sometimes, so we decided to keep them in the same position with the same use, because its an open space and very flexible, having the possibility of multiple uses, such as the market. Closer to them there is the big kitchen, between the learning facilities and the sports facilities, because it will be used as a cafeteria for all users, mainly the children that are 3 years or older. Then, there is the language center, the learning center (after 3 years), and the urban garden. After we see the long term proposes it will be more clear.

Related to the access, we proposed three main entrances, one next to the metro station to the income group facilities; another in the middle, directly to the sports facilities, that will receive more activities aiming to integrate all people and host the open market; and the last one is linking the learning facilities with the urban garden. 113

Again, we can see an attention given to integration and interaction among migrants and berliners and also to health and well being issues, but now new aspects appeared, as future prospects, more frequent, and capacity building and community engagement, less frequent. About the long term plan, few changes are proposed. The big kitchen will transform into a school restaurant and the learning center will be developed. This learning center, as said before, will have an alternative methodology and will use the infrastructure proposed to some of its classes, such as the urban garden, school-restaurant, and sport facilities. Also, we propose to take off the fences in order to turn these new facilities more reachable and attractive.

Once the other groups were focusing most in integrating people, we as integration group decided to extend this integration in a more flexible and democratic way: at the public spaces. We believe that the public space has a main role in integrating and connecting people besides contributing to build a more inclusive and welcoming environment, with direct impacts on the health and wellbeing of people. Having this in mind, our proposal is work with the public space as an extension of the facilities. We want this space to be a meeting point for all people, to be playful, fun and colorful; a place that calls attention to the activities happening in those new spaces, but is inviting to stay and rest.
PUBLIC SPACES Integrate and connect people More inclusive and welcoming environment
We imagine this ludic spaces to be quick, light and cheap structures; as you can see in these images. We are inspired in the place making concept, which is a movement that instigate people to re-imagine and reinvent the public space collectively putting focus on the interests and desires of the community that occupies it. Besides being open to new ideas and approaches in order to improve a neighborhood, a city or a region. The method has a transformative potential, it reinforces the connection between places and people who share them, and it encourages collaborative process. Far beyond just promoting urban design, placemaking facilitate creative patterns, paying attention especially to physical, cultural and social identity characteristics that define a place.
We consider those characteristics very important in the Tempelhof context, since it is a place that host several activities, and it is used by many different people, with diverse backgrounds. Having this in mind, we think that place making could fit in Tempelhof.
