Deadline Architects adapt the Baugruppe model, an ownership-based model, to create a co-operative for arts, education and the creative industries.

Frizz23 is a pioneer project created within the framework of five innovative participatory processes, three of them initiated and developed by the architects. Frizz23 and the processes behind it have charted a new approach to urban development, which can serve as a model for other sites and cities.

This innovative proposal won Berlin’s first concept-based public land sales procedure. The architects then assumed the roles of developers to build the community of users for the project. 32 small companies and nonprofits threatened by Berlin’s rapid gentrification joined to secure their workspaces.

This project has been shortlisted in the business building category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
