TU Berlin 1999 MA Architecture Final Design

The Final Design Project (Master Thesis) is a major part of the 'Diplom' (which is equivalent to a MA)  at the Technische Universität Berlin Architecture Department. 
After my scholarship at RMIT Melbourne I chose my old home turf Fitzroy as the site for my design. I can assure you that it's a lot nicer than the apartment building that was built a few month later instead;-).

I also  got nominated for the Debis Architecture Prize that year.

And here are the final presentation renders .....

This little booklet accompanied the models and renderings during the final design exhibition.

Using the highly reflective pages for parts of it turned out to be a bit counterproductive .

I vividly remember that I took it to an interview at an advertising agency in Berlin and the director loved it - probably because  he admired his own reflection while leafing through it :-)
