“100 Stitches” aims to heal the scar created by the A100. The red, pixel-like structure acts as a patch that connects to its surroundings. Modular and adaptable, it takes on different functions along the highway: housing, sports, gardens, parks, market and entertainment, changing in size and purpose according to the current needs of its users.
by Christian Lang, Mariia Murai, Ana Paulina Graf, Elena Raycheva, Millicent Afoakwa Mo
Guidelines: fluid, flexible, fun
Tutors: Gabriele Gagliardi, Rossy Bratkova
Fluid, flexible and fun: the “Grow with the Flow” project uses water as the main element of reconnection. Flowing through the A100 to the Spree, the water takes on different roles as it moves through its surroundings. In the south, local aquaponic food production, combining fish aquaculture and hydroponic vegetable gardening. Natural filtration, allows residents to finally swim in Berlin canals. Floating pavilions and a green waterfront create a soft margin, new interaction spaces between the water and the city.
by Niklas Gartner, Sofia Holtz, Sandile Vincent Maphumulo, Maxim von Helden, Diana Manolova
Guidelines: environmental sensitive; bottom-up; with the flow
Tutors: Steffen de Rudder
The project “Canal of Happiness” uses the highway as a sponge to collect rainwater. Taking on different shapes and temperatures, water flows and invites residents to enjoy public life in a variety of functions. An extensive glass roof transforms the road into a greenhouse with private and public gardens for recreation. Floating housing units adapt to the water level, rising and lowering as needed. Darker tunnel areas accommodate more intimate uses: a sauna in the north and a nightclub in the south.
by Marc Jähning, Anne Archner, Borislava Manolova, Heorhii Maksymenko, Melissa Kimberly Talbert
Guidelines: less concrete more green; joyfull; influence people
Tutors: Anna Pomazanna
The reuse of the A100 as an inhabited space: the main idea of the “A100 to A 100 Houses” project. Social housing for a lifetime. Houses for recreation and temporary use. A green living room to spend quality free time. Houses for culture, sport and community in the tunnels. Functions and building structures that also act as vertical links between the walls and the surroundings. A highway filled with greenery and waterways to be used as a source by its inhabitants.

The Urban Design Hackathon is back!
In its fourth edition we will stop a disaster in the making, the almost completed building of the A100 Berlin city highway.
Once a symbol of modernity, today it represents an outdated policy of favouring car-oriented urban development. Plans for further expansions would demand extensive engineering works, a significant budget and would seriously damage the urban fabric. The outdated planning provides a clear incentive for a surge in the number of cars and an increase in carbon emissions – precisely the opposite of what cities like Paris, Copenhagen or Barcelona are currently doing.
The 16th section of the A100 is finished, but not yet in operation. If the motorway is opened next year as planned, there is a threat of traffic collapse in the Berlin hinterland. But it is never too late to do the right thing: bury the old plan and think again! The colossal valley-like infrastructure is a unique chance to turn the tide and to develop a thousand new ideas – literally anything is better than a new motorway.
The question for this year’s Hackathon is: how do you turn the car traffic ruin, a symbol of past time planning, into a catalyst for sustainable urban development?

The Urban Design Hackathon is a 24h online workshop for international students from European architecture schools.
Over its past three editions, we tested and successfully established a new format of digital teaching and international collaboration – despite the pandemic and without environmentally harmful air miles. Supported by technically advanced tools, the virtual room became a common ground for learning and intercultural exchange for students and academics from ten institutions across Europe.
We invite students to develop future scenarios for obsolete structures in the urban environment. It is a novel approach, where the ugly and outdated are not simply erased but valued for their grey energy and embraced as catalysts of a resilient and sustainable further development of our cities.
