Posted by: Alexandre Borovik | June 26, 2008

See Ulrich Kortenkamp’s paper. Has anyone been in Berlin latley? Has this design been implemented?


Berlin’s Alexanderplatz and the quasi-periodic tiling designed to pave it

Responses

According to U. Kortenkamps site, the proposal made it to the final round (as one of three proposals) of the architectural competition, but failed to win and will not be implemented.
Shame.

yes, it’s a pity, unfortunately they did not implement it.

Would have been wonderful…
