Scheidt Kasprusch Architekten shared with us their first prize winning proposal in the competition for the new building of depot and workshops for the regional authorities for culture and preservation of historical monuments and state museum in Schwerin, Germany. Located on the former barrack ground on the Johannes‐Stelling Street, the proposed concept completes the former military base in the southern part. Records and documents from over 60 different sites are combined in the central repository and its associated workshops while a connecting structure combines three different depots to the workshop building in the South. More images and architects’ description after the break.
More than 370 architect offices asked for competition documents, but at the end, the jury evaluated about 60 submissions. The awarding authority, the department for construction and properties Mecklenburg‐ Vorpommern (Germany), fixed the budget on 39.8 mill. €. The amount invested accounts 49.0 mill. €. The terms of the competition demand all in all five different construction phases for the workshops and the depots. The developed construction stage determined form and design.
