Here, new living space is being created in the south-east of Munich: our project PANDION VERDE with its 2 to 4-room apartments has been on sale since the weekend. In the first construction phase on Hans-A.-Engelhard-Strasse in Munich-Neuperlach, PANDION is building 133 freehold apartments in the direct vicinity of the Truderinger Forest. We are planning a total of 256 apartments on the approximately 20,000 square meter site, which is part of the almost 13 hectare development area on the grounds of the former Piederstorfer gravel works. Over the next few years, an urban quarter will be created there with condominiums, terraced houses and its own infrastructure with a neighborhood promenade, shopping facilities and childcare facilities.

It all begins in 2016 with the installation "dissolve". In that time the artist Ludger Molitor is covering a former Franciscan monastery in Düsseldorf with golden foil. One year later, "THE HAUS" turns a former bank building in Berlin into the world's largest temporary "Urban Art" gallery. Meanwhile, PANDION has made such actions a permanent fixture in its program: we are talking about artistic and cultural interim uses.

What are the architectural highlights of PANDION WALL 18? Which ideas lay behind the design concept of the facades? And which role does the site play for the architecture of a residential building in a large German city? These and other questions are answered by Mathias Groß, Branch Manager Berlin and Stephan Höhne, architect of PANDION WALL 18, in the following interview. It is the first film portrait of one of our final projects and gives us an insight into the residential building in Berlin-Mitte, which was completed in early 2020.

The non-profit trust is once again supporting more humanitarian projects at home and abroad. One of the projects is concerned with integrated support for young people in sports training centres in South Africa, another grants people with disabilities in Ramallah, Palestine, access to education and training. The third project contributes to the formation of public opinion in Germany through crowdfunding. A further initiative that is supported by the knodel foundation deals with an app to coordinate assistance with shopping for members of coronavirus risk groups in Germany.
