Dezeen award 2024: mixed-use project of the year - highly commended The introduction of plants on the façades and rooftops of the Calwer Passage sparked an engaged debate on the importance of urban greenery, underscoring its critical role in shaping modern cityscapes. Beacon projects like this, which pursue untested ideas, inevitably invite scrutiny – but it is precisely these bold initiatives that push architectural boundaries and drive innovation, keeping the field dynamic and future-focused. Judges comments: "This project is an innovative example of how an existing building can be adapted to create a healthier and more appealing environment for both its occupants and those that pass by." photo credits: Kilian Bishop ingenhoven associates | Christoph Ingenhoven | Werner Sobek | Albert Reif, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg | Dr. Karl-Heinz Strauch, Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT) | Martin Belz, Jakob Leonhards Söhne GmbH & Co.
