Like the Fluss Bad project our project can be phased over time, as needed and by priority: this is a democratic process and will be determined by the communities.
Über das Werk: Rockaway Call for ideas, March 2013 – Initiated by MoMA PS1 and MoMA’s Department of Architecture and Design Our entry for the Rockaway call for ideas competition proposed not only to repair these communities from the damage that has been done and to protect them from future destruction but also to offer something new – social and event spaces that are made from protective infrastructure. The retaining berms, made of infra-light concrete by using for example plastic waste from the beach and ocean, are multi-tasking systems: over time the berms will be integrated into the beach as they are partially covered in sand, by vegetation and trees. Boardwalks and bridges zigzagging across the crowns of the berms will connect meadows, orchards, sport fields, swimming pools, and pavilions and shops. It’s an open-ended system: The communities that they protect will determine different ways how to use them based on need and interest. Its flexible and what we are showing is not set in stone but is a kind of demonstration of how this might work. Like the Flussbad project our project can be phased over time, as needed and by priority: this is a democratic process and will be determined by the communities.

In 1993, Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger founded their American-German office in Berlin. Today, it employs around 90 people. Over the years, the firm has developed numerous projects in Germany and abroad, the quality of which has been affirmed in publications and through the receipt of awards. The scope of Barkow–Leibinger’s projects ranges from public buildings and office buildings to residential and industrial interiors within existing buildings. The central focus of the firm – building for medium- and large-scale companies – includes, in addition to drawing up long-term master plans for site development, the planning and realization of representative and functional buildings for production, logistics and administration (such as the company restaurant for the Trumpf company in Ditzingen). In recent years, “Tour Total”, the German headquarters of the French mineral oil corporation located near Berlin’s main train station, the Fellows Pavilion for the American Academy in Berlin, the TRUMPF Smart Factory in Chicago, and the Harvard ArtLab in Cambridge have, among other projects, been completed. Most recently completed were the Sid Richardson and Hanszen Residential Colleges at Rice University in Houston and the B:HUB in Berlin.
