Swords to Plow­shares 2.0

This is an article from our archive. It was published in March 2022, so some details may no longer be up to date.

When looking at the visionary pro­jects of Munich architect Benedikt Hartl, some observers may shake their heads and accuse him of show­manship or a lack of realism. Put there.

Trans­forming Berlin Airport into a Covid super­hos­pital, turning the Capitol in Washington into a fortress of demo­cracy, adding social housing to Buck­ingham Palace?

In our time, with its manifold crises, great, see­mingly impos­sible visions may become a paradigm necessary for sur­vival. Or at least they provide us with the “air” to at least seriously think about a com­pletely dif­ferent, a pos­sible reality, free from the cata­strophe reports that assail us daily.

With Nord Stream 3 – Sleeping berths for peace Benedikt Hartl / Opposite Office has curr­ently brought a concept into play that trans­forms the pipeline Nord Stream 2 into a center of inter­na­tional under­standing and a shelter.

What may seem irri­tating, but also chal­lenges us: Get out of your comfort zone, but above all, get out of your state of shock!

What do you think, dear readers?
