If we allow it, Advent is a cozy time – a time for reflection. We have illuminated the inside of the CUBITY Atelier House during the dark Advent and Christmas season – switching on a light as an inner and outer orientation. Because light is the source of life and means hope and warmth for us humans. Light allows us to be productive. It also gives us a sense of security. By illuminating our CUBITY, we send this hope out to people.
The CUBITY Atelier House celebrated the official topping-out ceremony of the building on September 21, 2022. The event was opened with a welcoming speech by Dipl.-Ing. and architect BDA Markus Schmale. Ina Scharrenbach, MdL, Minister for Home Affairs, Municipal Affairs, Building and Digitalization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Georg Gelhausen, Mayor of the municipality of Merzenich and Jens Broeker, District Administration of Dueren, also attended the special event at the centrally located Poolplatz.
The relocation of CUBITY from its current location in Frankfurt am Main to the Poolplatz in Merzenich (NRW) has begun. Preparatory work on the interior of CUBITY on the corner of Melibocusstrasse and Adolf-Miersch-Strasse in Frankfurt has been underway since the end of April. Outside, the Neuss-based specialist company Preusche GmbH (NRW) has made space for the scaffolding by dismantling the entrance steps and ramp as well as the terrace. The motto for the dismantling is “reuse instead of recycle”. The CUBITY removal is based on the premise of sustainability, prevention of environmental pollution and responsible use of resources. Once the CUBITY building and the foundation stilts have been dismantled, the area on the Nassauischen Heimstätte site will be re-vegetated.
