Falkenhagener Feld: Im Spektefeld

Im Spektefeld forms part of a large housing estate in Spandau, defined by prefabricated buildings and open green courtyards. At Im Spektefeld, the local character comes from the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. The everyday rhythm of Im Spektefeld is shaped by repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Im Spektefeld lies in the borough of Spandau, about 17 km west of central Berlin. Im Spektefeld merges gradually into An der Kappe and Griesingerstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Im Spektefeld a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Im Spektefeld is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Im Spektefeld a distinctive quality: the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout.
