DIAKONIE CHURCH AND NURSING HOME

摘要

Diakonie is a social welfare arm of the Protestant church in Germany, providing pastoral care for those in physical hardship or mental distress. It also focuses on the causes of suffering, promoting social justice and tolerance. Assistance is offered to all, regardless of faith (or indeed, the existence of faith). On an urban site in Diisseldorf, one of Germany's most affluent cities, architecture practice Baumschlager Eberle was asked to design a new social care campus for the local Diakonie. The Austrian partnership was appointed following a competition in 2004.
