Hamburg Morgen

Our proposal for the transformation of a housing estate in Hamburg into a lively garden city has been selected for the Hamburg section of the exhibition ‚Together‘, on display at Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, and its publication ‚Hamburg MORGEN‘. A free copy will be available at the museum which will hopefully soon be able to open its doors.
