可持续与再生：该项目最引人注目的亮点在于其对现有结构的巧妙利用和可持续设计理念。设计师并未选择推倒重建，而是基于“反思而非拆除”的原则，保留了原有的混凝土结构，这不仅减少了建筑垃圾，节约了大量“灰色能量”，也赋予了建筑独特的历史韵味。这种做法是对可持续建筑的有力实践，在当下强调环保的时代具有重要的示范意义。更重要的是，该项目通过改造旧百货商店，响应了零售业的结构性转型，为城市更新提供了可借鉴的模式，具有前瞻性。

多元与活力：“Kalle Neukölln”项目的精髓在于其创造了一个充满多元性和活力的社区创意中心。通过将不同功能——屋顶花园、办公空间、零售区以及美食广场和活动大厅——巧妙地融合在一起，项目打破了传统百货商店的单一功能，构建了一个开放、包容、充满互动性的城市空间。这种设计不仅有利于租户和访客，更重要的是，它激活了整个区域，提升了社区的活力。这种多元化的设计策略，也预示着未来城市空间发展的趋势，即强调功能混合、激发社区活力。

立面与转型：建筑师对立面设计进行了巧妙的改造，将大型建筑群分割为两个对比鲜明的部分，分别面向卡尔·马克思大街和甘霍费尔大街，赋予了建筑独特的视觉语言。朝南的明亮石凉廊和朝北的青铜色金属立面形成了鲜明的对比，使得建筑在城市环境中脱颖而出。此外，在原有螺旋停车场的位置，设计师打造了一个“冬季花园”作为连接元素，进一步增强了建筑的开放性和互动性。这种立面设计不仅提升了建筑的美学价值，也清晰地表达了建筑的转型理念，使“Kalle Neukölln”成为一个引人注目的城市地标。

建筑师提供的文字描述。“Kalle Neukölln”项目振兴了柏林卡尔马克思大街上历史悠久的奎尔百货公司。这座大型建筑，包括一座建于1970年的毗邻多层停车库，由于其位于该地区的中央购物和交通要道上，是Neukölln的主要物业之一。总部位于柏林的开发商MREI对该物业进行了彻底的重新规划，Max Dudler对立面进行了重新设计，将这家前百货公司转变为一个充满活力的社区创意中心。现有的结构框架已根据“反思而非拆除”的原则进行了重新调整，为工作、娱乐和互动创造了一个当代空间。该项目是保护建筑结构中体现的“灰色能量”的原型，并为零售业的结构转型提供了前瞻性的回应。
Text description provided by the architects. The "Kalle Neukölln" project revitalizes the historic Quelle department store on Karl-Marx-Straße in Berlin. This large-scale building, including an adjoining multi-story parking garage built in 1970, is one of Neukölln's key properties due to its location on the district's central shopping and traffic artery. The radical reprogramming of the property by Berlin-based developer MREI and the redesign of the façades by Max Dudler transform the former department store into a vibrant neighborhood creative hub. The existing structural framework has been repurposed based on the principle of "rethinking instead of demolishing," creating a contemporary space for work, enjoyment, and interaction. The project serves as a prototype for preserving the "grey energy" embodied in the building's structure and provides a forward-thinking response to the structural transformation of the retail sector.

在40000平方米的总面积内，正在创造一个充满多样性的环境，在各个层面上连接协作、文化和享受。该开发项目包括4000平方米的屋顶花园、26000平方米的办公空间、4000平方平方米的零售空间，以及一个6000平方米的大厅，专门用于美食、活动和室内食品市场。将这家中央百货公司改造成“Kalle Neukölln”发出了一个强烈的信号，将卡尔·马克思大街重塑为Neuköll中心一条充满活力的主干道。这一新概念不仅有利于租户，也有利于游客、社区，并最终惠及整个地区。从地下室到屋顶，室内外的各种用途和活跃的城市活动旨在相互激励和加强。Kalle-Neukölln项目为城市规划者提供了希望，他们将认识到其他看似死亡的空间的潜力，并利用其天才场所成功地重新诠释。
Across a total area of 40,000 m2, an environment brimming with diversity is being created, connecting collaboration, culture, and enjoyment on every level. The development includes 4,000 m2 of rooftop gardens, 26,000 m2 of office space, 4,000 m2 of retail space, and, as its centerpiece, a 6,000 m2 hall dedicated to gastronomy, events, and an indoor food market. The transformation of this central department store property into „Kalle Neukölln" sends a strong signal for the reinvention of Karl-Marx-Straße as a vibrant main thoroughfare in the heart of Neukölln. This new concept benefits not only tenants but also visitors, the neighborhood, and ultimately the entire district. The diverse range of uses and the lively urban activity, both indoors and outdoors, from the basement to the rooftop, are designed to inspire and strengthen one another. The Kalle Neukölln project offers hope that urban planners will recognize the potential of other seemingly dead spaces and harness their genius loci for successful reinterpretation.

立面设计将大型建筑群分为两个等效但对比鲜明的部分。朝南的建筑面向卡尔·马克思大街，有一个由人造石制成的明亮的石凉廊，而朝北的建筑面向前停车库甘霍费尔大街，则覆盖着青铜色的金属立面。在两个建筑部分之间的前螺旋停车坡道的位置，正在创建一个“冬季花园”——一个作为连接元素的活动区。重新设计的目的是更好地将建筑体量融入城市景观中周围建筑地标的背景中，同时也使建筑的概念转变从外部可见。该结构基于现有建筑，仅在关键区域进行补充或削减，以与城市结构建立有意义的联系。
The façade design divides the large building complex into two equivalent yet contrasting parts. The southern structure facing Karl-Marx-Straße features a bright, stone loggia made of artificial stone, while the northern structure facing Ganghofer Straße, the former parking garage, is clad with a bronze-colored metal façade. At the site of the former spiraled parking ramp between the two building sections, a „Winter Garden" is being created—an event area that serves as a connecting element. The redesign aims to better integrate the building volumes into the context of the surrounding architectural landmarks within the urban landscape, while also making the building's conceptual transformation attractively visible from the outside. The structure is based on the existing building and was only supplemented or cut back in critical areas to establish a meaningful connection to the urban fabric.

老奎尔百货公司是由建筑团队Hendel Haseloff Hotzel于1970年设计的野兽派巨型建筑。在20世纪90年代将该综合体改造成SinnLefers商店的过程中，曾经为这座激进的现代、有点反城市的建筑赋予活力的乌托邦精神完全消失了。特别是停车场，看起来几乎怪诞。最初的混凝土结构是按照时代精神设计的，跨度高达24米，具有纪念性的混凝土梁和柱。这种结构被保留下来并保持可见，以释放其美学潜力。它的再利用也提供了比用木材建造新建筑更好的二氧化碳平衡，从而树立了可持续建筑实践的榜样。
The old Quelle department store was designed in 1970 by the architectural team Hendel-Haseloff-Hotzel as a brutalist megastructure. The utopian spirit that once animated this radically modern, somewhat anti-urban architecture was completely lost during the transformation of the complex into a SinnLeffers store in the 1990s. The parking garage, in particular, had come to appear almost grotesque. The original concrete structure was designed in the spirit of the times with enormous spans of up to 24 meters and features monumental-looking concrete beams and columns. This structure is being retained and left visible to unlock its aesthetic potential. Its reuse also offers a significantly better CO2 balance than constructing a new building from wood, thereby setting an example of sustainable building practices.

零售业的结构转型正在影响无数城市中心。它需要重新思考公共空间，并将重塑和重新配置城市中心。到目前为止，通常缺乏前瞻性的方法来处理城市百货商店过时的建筑类型，这些百货商店通常位于对城市发展至关重要的特别关键的地区。开发这些网站需要与社会和政治环境密切接触，因为所有利益相关者都对这些地点的变化高度敏感。如此复杂的项目只有通过具有互补专业知识的各种规划合作伙伴的合作才能取得成功。总部位于柏林的Realace办公室开发了初步概念，并在与当地政治和行政部门的合作中进一步完善。使用结构、流动性概念以及社会和文化方面都得到了同等考虑。Max Dudler负责开发和设计城市和建筑外观，而建筑公司Aukett+Heese负责室内设计。
The structural transformation in retail is impacting countless city centers. It requires rethinking public spaces and will reshape and reconfigure urban centers. So far, there is often a lack of forward-looking approaches to dealing with the outdated building type of the city department store, which is frequently located in particularly critical areas crucial for urban development. Developing these sites necessitates close engagement with the social and political environment, as all stakeholders are highly sensitive to changes in these locations. Such a complex project can only succeed through the collaboration of various planning partners with complementary expertise. The Berlin-based office Realace developed initial concepts, which were further refined in cooperation with local politics and administration. Usage structures, mobility concepts, and social and cultural aspects were equally considered. Max Dudler was responsible for developing and designing the urban and architectural appearance, while the architectural firm Aukett + Heese managed the interior realization.

前百货商店和停车场非常适合举办非凡活动。MREI非常重视与当地利益相关者的密切合作，与地区团体建立了牢固的联系，并促进了临时使用，例如在“48小时的Neukölln”艺术节期间。该建筑的独特吸引力反映在其新的租户组合中。它现在容纳了CODE应用科学大学以及世界领先的音乐流媒体平台SoundCloud；来自伦敦的传奇音乐商店Rough Trade；创业加速器Delta和“Kiez”办公室，为自由职业者和小企业提供灵活的办公空间。
The former department store and parking garage is uniquely suited for extraordinary events. MREI places great emphasis on close collaboration with local stakeholders, having established strong connections with district-based groups and facilitated temporary uses, such as during the „48h Neukölln" art festival. The building's distinctive appeal is reflected in its new tenant mix. It now houses the CODE University of Applied Sciences, as well as SoundCloud, the world's leading music streaming platform; Rough Trade, a legendary music store from London; the startup accelerator Delta, and "Kiez" offices, which offer flexible office spaces for freelancers and small businesses.
