First Results for the Evaluation Procedure for the Future of the Gerling Development

The winners, the architect’s offices KSG, kister, scheithauer, gross, Cologne; Petzinka Pink Architekten, Düsseldorf and steidle architekten, Munich were unanimously chosen “on the merit of the high quality of urban planning requirements for the future development of the Gerling areal”.
