Since there was some complains about a country like Singapore controlling the narrative of Solarpink design, I thought I share an intressting project from Hamburg. The main structure is a massive WW2 era bunker. The walls are 3.5m thick concrete and steel, so demolition is not easy nor cheap. But it also means putting trees on top of it, actually is somewhat sensible. The bunker will house a permanent Nazi history museum, focussing on the reason of construction, a hotel at the top, a large concert hall and an art exhibition space. The green platforms at the site allow visitors to walk on top the structures to enjoy the views.

Obviousy this has some problems, mainly the capitalist hotel, but still a fairly intressting project and the aesthetics are pretty solarpunk.

That makes sense, because if you look at it for more than a couple of seconds, the scale is off all over the place. The trees on top make the bunker look absolutely enormous, just like it could rule over the entire city... but then you see the trees in front, which make the trees on top look like bonsais.
