und Jurek BrüggenThe building, once earmarked for demolition due to its precarious structural state, has become the foundation for a visionary redevelopment that channels the significant financial resources required for demolition into a project that embodies sustainability and community enrichment. To stabilize the structure and pave the way for its transformation, the building will first be scaffolded externally. These scaffolds, supported from outside and interlinked across the building’s breadth, will secure the fragile framework, ensuring safety during the initial phase of work.

Inside, the building will be gutted, with the collapsed ceiling slabs and roof carefully removed. Dilapidated outbuildings on the property, deemed beyond salvage, will also be demolished. Structural elements of the ground floor, such as a bracing steel frame, will be preserved where possible to maintain the integrity of the remaining walls. The exterior walls, particularly vulnerable to horizontal forces, will be fortified by a ring anchor and new exterior wall sections on the south façade. These supports will function like Gothic buttresses, transferring lateral forces and stabilizing the structure.
