 Sony center in Berlin
Potsdamer Platz was a famed Berlin cultural centre
before the Second World War. It was severely
bombed during the war because it was near Hitler's
bunker. The area became a no‐man's land during
the cold war. After the Fall of the Berlin Wall, in
1989, it was re‐developed with the aim of
recovering its pre‐war cultural role. All traces of the
hot and cold wars were to be expunged.

The Berlin Wall

Potsdammer area
The Sony Platz section of the Potsdamer Platz re‐development was designed
as a mixed‐use project with space for office, retail, entertainment,
residential, and hospitality uses. The central space is a 4,000 square metre
tented garden. Neatly clipped hedges lead the eye to an underground level.
Covered walks lead out from the central space, operating like allees in a
baroque park. They link to the historic Tiergarten and and to other new
spaces in the Potsdammer area. The Sony Centre is at the same time public

PLACE MAKING DESIGN
The essence of place making is the creation of economically vibrant, aesthetically attractive, lively and engaging, pedestrian‐
friendly places. Increasingly, another factor is coming into play—sustainability—leading to an increased focus on infill,
mixed‐use, walkable, and transit‐served development projects as critical components for building healthy and enduring
communities.

Place making offers developers, public officials, and consumers unbeatable opportunities to collaboratively create thriving,
profitable, sustainable environments to live, work, and play. Great place making requires bold vision, entrepreneurial
business models, and long‐term commitment from private and public sector players. Optimizing these opportunities can
challenge

1 focus activity areas
1.
The best public space often have nodes of activity (with
pavement/street cafes or markets), complemented quiet zones for place
rest and people‐watching.
Deciding the relative positioning of activity areas requires attention
to :
• visibility – enabling people to have views across spaces, while
giving them a choices of areas to sit or linger in relation to
activity “hot
hot spot
spot”
• orientation – facing sunny and well sheltered spots with seating
provide the most popular spaces for lingering
• facilities for sitting and stopping at activity nodes and crossing
• places for play
2. Uses in and around the spaces
• encourage street performers
• transform squares into evening film
auditoria or theatres
• accommodate markets, carnivals or parades
