Harmony of Architecture and Nature

Berlin, which has a dynamic life rhythm, also offers architectural structures hidden in serene areas to its residents living in a high tempo. People's longing for nature is fulfilled with parks and forests spread throughout the city.

The city's passionate relationship with nature also gives life to the city's structural approach. Buildings integrated with nature surround Berlin. It also paves the way for people to keep their hopes for the future green.

The American Academy's
Fellows Pavilion,
which serves as a bridge for a better dialog between the American people and the German people, is one of the important examples of combining nature and structural design.

The project undertaken by Barkow Leibinger architectural office was completed in 2015 under the leadership of German architect Tobias Wenz. Built in the style of a 19th-century villa on a large green area in the Wannsee region, the building leaves a striking impression on those who see it despite its simple design. The building blends perfectly with the vegetation of the land on which it is built.

Berlin has won the appreciation of nature lovers and environmentalists as a city that hosts architectural projects that adapt to nature and do not disrupt its structure, as well as projects in which nature plays the leading role.

Gallery of Scenic Garden
is one of the protagonists of these special projects. Completed in 2017 by Hanazaki Paisagismo architectural office under the leadership of Alex Hanazaki, the project fascinates those who see it. Spread over an area of approximately 400 square meters, this area contains the most beautiful shades of green.

Designed for the International Garden Fair in Berlin, the project has become a part of the city as a unique proof of how nature and architecture can harmonize. The project, which harmoniously connects the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the city with the deep spirit of nature, is being held up as an example all over the world.

Berlin's ability to live in harmony with nature without giving up the benefits of city life is an example that is closely scrutinized by the governments of many cities around the world. In a world where the negative effects of global warming are increasing, cities like Berlin continue to provide hope for future generations and erase the traces of the past.
