Architecture students from Cologne University of Applied Sciences met in March for a project development course at the Findeisen Foundation’s CUBITY to design concepts for the revitalization of the Rhenish mining district.
On 7 December 2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Municipal Affairs, Building and Digitalization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, RWE Power AG and the municipality of Merzenich jointly signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) at the Cubity Atelier House regarding the transfer of the village of Morschenich-Alt to the municipality of Merzenich.
CUBITY receives recognition in the “Exemplary Buildings in the State of Hesse” competition and travels to North Rhine-Westphalia as a CUBITY Atelier House. The CUBITY-LivingLAB now becomes a pioneering place for knowledge transformation in the municipality of Merzenich (Dueren district).
On December 23, 2021, the building application for the new location in Merzenich was officially handed over by the foundation’s Chairman of the Board, Dipl.-Ing. Architect BDA Markus Schmale. “With the prospect of preserving the hereditary forest and the Hambach Forest, the municipality of Merzenich plays a special role in structural development compared to the entire Rhenish district. With the CUBITY Atelier House, our foundation offers a pioneering location for knowledge transformation,” explains Markus Schmale.
