HORST

Commissioned through an open call by Fritz-Kola and Horst Arts & Music, this proposal explores how architecture can turn overlooked spaces into catalysts for social interaction and collective experience, reimagining the rooftop of an existing building within Asiat Park as a publicly accessible destination for sustainability, community and innovation.

At its heart is the ambition to dissolve contrasts — old and new, inside and outside, permanent and temporary — into a single meeting place. Rather than prescribing one experience, the project embraces ambiguity, leaving room for unexpected encounters and new perspectives.

Two interventions carry the idea. A monumental black façade of stacked Fritz-Kola crates acts as architecture, material archive and circular design statement, redefining the building's presence within the park while demonstrating material reuse. On the roof, an intangible green landscape becomes a public meeting and performance space, elevated above the park and reshaped continuously by light, weather, vegetation and use.

Together, the interventions turn a forgotten rooftop into a platform for community, creativity and experimentation, reframing the site's existing qualities rather than erasing them, and extending sustainability beyond the temporary into a framework for circular design and collective ownership.
