Schindler Award 2010

Part of the grounds used for the 1936 Olympics will form the competition site of the Schindler Award 2010. There is plenty of activity space on the Olympic grounds, but the new facilities that have been added to the original compound on the western fringe are not well-connected. Partly hidden by the enormous spectator stands of the Maifeld are several athletic halls, an equestrian hall, tennis courts, car parks and the installations of an underground aquifer gas-storage. Together they form a haphazardly developed area that leaves a lot to be desired in terms of urban design and architecture. These facilities also lack adequate and attractive public access for all, even though they are served by a nearby train station of the S-Bahn urban transit system. The substantial difference in elevation between S-Bahn, Maifeld and Waldbühne creates further accessibility problems.

The task is aimed at transforming this somewhat neglected area of the Olympic grounds into a pleasing, functional and fully accessible sport and leisure compound. To achieve this goal, the following tasks must be fulfilled:

On the urban scale:
- Create a master plan to reorganize existing and new functions inside a perimeter of approximately 750 by 850 meters;

- Devise a new access route from the urban transit station and the carpark to the sport facilities and the 'Waldbühne'.

On the project scale:
- Design a new sports and congress hotel for 150 guests;

- Upgrade the 'Waldbühne' to modern standards of ‘Access for All’

The jury felt it is especially fitting that the principles of 'Access for All' should be applied to a place used by the Nazis to symbolise their imagined superiority and policies of exclusion.
