Corridor with clusters, typical floor
| Arriving | The historic landmark of the former OSRAM Headquarter has been retrofitted into a temporary home for 500 refugees. All added building elements – partly built with donated materials – had to be removable after a two-year time period. The former open-plan office floors have been equipped with 1,6 meter tall clusters to house two to three occupants, and the existing sanitation has been supplemented with showers, washstands, and washing machines. A canteen provides food for all occupants. The adjacent former research building offers, aside from large bedrooms, smaller family units. The first floor includes offices and education facilities.
