Artist Ina Geißler wins Kunst-AM-Bau competition in Berlin-Kaulsdorf
The artist Ina Geißler recently won the art-am-construction competition for the Franz-Carl-Achhard elementary school in Berlin-Kaulsdorf. The draft entitled "Floating Zaunk Body" was unanimously elected to the 1st place by the jury and recommended for implementation. This non-open competition was awarded by the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district office to accompany the renovation and expansion of the school. The school building was built in 1911 and was expanded in 1913. Due to the increasing move to the outskirts of Berlin, the existing school building is no longer sufficient for needs.
The design of Ina Geißler refers to the area of one and two-family houses in Kaulsdorf, Biesdorf and Mahlsdorf and focuses on forces as a creative element. The metal sculpture is installed in the atrium of the new building and consists of mirroring chrome lacquer. The shape is reminiscent of missiles, insects or birds and is supposed to stimulate the imagination of the children.
Marzahn-Hellersdorf has a rich cultural landscape that continues to be enriched by projects such as this art-am-construction competition. The installation of Ina Geißler will certainly make a contribution to the artistic diversity of the district.
