Regenbogenwald children's and youth center made from reused elements
Project
Due to the necessary expansion of the social infrastructure in Darmstadt's Verlegerviertel district, a new replacement building is being planned on the site of the previous daycare center. The Regenbogenwald children's and youth center offers enough space for children and young people of different ages on three floors, which are stepped upwards, and several sports and play areas. The building project focuses on circular construction. To this end, materials from the existing building are reused as well as used building products and components from various demolition projects in Darmstadt and Stuttgart. True to the principle of 'form follows availability', the design is always adapted to the dimensions and properties of the available components.
