The 2025 DAM Preis was awarded to AFF Architekten for Spore Haus, a cultural and community center in Berlin. Selected for its thoughtful integration into the urban landscape, the building introduces a vital public plaza and is designed to foster community engagement through various interconnected spaces, including a café and exhibition areas. The jury noted its architectural clarity, innovative use of sustainable materials, and positive neighborhood impact, exemplifying a collaborative spirit between creative users and a philanthropic foundation.
The building is the outcome of a wealth of ideas, and the urge for artistic experimentation on the part of everyone involved in a location that strongly benefits.
This year's winner, Spore Haus, was selected for its thoughtful design and careful integration into the urban context, as well as its contribution to public life.
The design incorporates a red façade, referencing the brick tones of nearby cemetery walls, while floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the building to its surroundings.
Commissioned by the Schöpflin Foundation, the project offers a versatile 'third space' for the community, providing seminar rooms, studios, and a library.
