DMY Berlin 2010 [Tempelhof Flughafen]




This year's International Design Festival Berlin, known as DMY Berlin, took place inside the hangers of the old Tempelhof Airport. This huge steel construction, designed in the shape of an eagle spreading wings, is one impressive piece of architecture. Normally it is not possible to go inside, but for this occasion, the doors were opened.

There are still remains of the old airline counters and baggage claims conveyor belt, allowing imaginations to put people into place for the times this place was still functioning as an airport. The airport was closed in 30 October 2008, and the city is still looking into how the building could be used..... There is so much space, with former offices of airlines and workshops inside the hanger, this would be a perfect location for a collective creative complex, housing design studios, architects offices, artist atelier, machining centers.... Please open the building up to creative people!!

今年のベルリン国際デザインフェスティバル、通称DMYベルリンは、旧Tempelhof空港の飛行機格納庫で行われました。上空から見た時に羽を広げた鷲のデザインの巨大な鉄骨の建物は、圧倒的な存在感があります。通常は中には入れませんが、このイベントの際は門が開かれました。

中に入ると、使用されていた際の活気を想像させる航空会社のカウンターや、バゲッジクレームのベルトコンベア等が残っています。空港としての役目は2008年10月30日で終了し、市が建物の利用方法を検討中です。航空会社のオフィスや、整備に使っていた作業場など、とてつもなく広く、デザインスタジオ、建築オフィス、アトリエ、試作場などを一カ所に集めた、クリエーターの総合施設には完璧だと思います。クリエーターに解放してください!!
