The opening of the future new ’Willy- Brand airport’ in
Berlin Schönefeld, will connect Berlin, the German capital to the big network
of the international air traffic. Like at all big airports of the world, there arise in
close distance high-quality real estate such as industries, trade, service and
entertainment at the highest level. Especially in the new centres of the Middle
East, Asia and South America you will find this combination. This special
infrastructure has taken a leading function for the respective national demand
in creativity, modernity, culture and trade. In old Europe such possibilities
are only isolated or rarely to be seen.
Germany, especially Berlin has a unique chance with the
available location for a Project of Superlatives to realise and thus to stand
up to the international competition. Investors of the whole world have found
this unique chance.
On plot area of approx. 440,000 m² (ca. 108 acres) international
leading architects and landscape architects will develop within the frame of a
master plan from a German architect, a
unique area for residence, trade, business-service, research, education, leisure
& entertainment which will be a magnificent magnet for foreign
visitors. These highly innovative parts in close connection to the main new
airport in Berlin, probably at present the largest single project in Europe,
will be characterised by a unique architecture in harmony with wonderful water -
and green landscape spaces. Thus living, working, culture, entertainment &
leisure will find here its optimal combination.
In addition, it is planned to implement this
airport-city as an Eco zone that means emission-free. In this respect the best
technologies will be applied for energy supply, environment protection,
recycling, water supply and transport fulfilling all personal expectations of
the people who live and work there as well of the passing visitors.
Beyond that it is the explained goal the entire
quarter as an Eco zone, i.e. emission-free, to plan. To that extent the best
technologies are to be used for power supply, environmental protection,
recycling, water supply and transport, without limiting humans in their
personal requirements.
At this unique place of “Future Gate” well-known enterprises,
institutions, organisations and authorities from all over the world will
settle. The most important focus points will be the areas of enterprise,
corporate management, administration, service, shopping and entertainment. Beyond
that, there will be also facilities for education and science, medicine and
health, art and culture, hotels and catering.
The centre of the place is symbolised by a globe. This
globe extending over three floors and placed in the centre is selected for restaurants
and a casino. Around the globe there are six separate areas,
which symbolise the continents integrating international hotels from around the
world.
