Our New Green Façade Is Here!

In 2024, the eastern façade of GEH8 received a new green face! The winning design from the 2022 student competition “No One Intends to Green a Wall” has now been brought to life.

In collaboration with the architecture firm Atelier Lauströer-Richter and the landscape planning office Landschaftswerk Dresden, we implemented the concept by students Raveena Pathak and McKenna Montgomery (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences). The project makes use of rainwater from the rooftops and combines ground-based and wall-mounted planting into a sustainable system.

This was made possible thanks to the support of Dresden’s Environmental Office, BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany), and the Pieschen district council. The new green façade is a symbol of our commitment to climate action and urban transformation — showing how art and cultural spaces can actively contribute to ecological change.
