Why is this case relevant?

Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin. It founded after the division of Germany and Berlin to four occupied sectors to satisfy the needs of the western part. The decision was taken in 1958 to build a large new hospital and modern complex university in all of Europe. The new building combined all Institute departments and lectures. In 1994 the hospital named to Benjamin Franklin University hospital due to the support from the united states. At this time the hospital was home to 36 research department and offered 1200 beds. The original landscape design of the campus designed by Prof/ Walter Rossow in 1967. The case study is very interesting because it is well maintained from 1964 till now with the same concept of outstanding design from floor pattern, water feature, landmarks, trees, ponds, and outdoor furniture. In 2018 the decision was taken to demolish the old buildings around the main campus and make some extensions for the hospital which will affect the open space.
