The Istend District is an up and coming district where work-life balance thrives. This proposal introduces a space that can keep up with Frankfurt’s blooming population expansion as immigration has continued to increase at a fast pace with young professionals flooding into the city. This influx requires space and housing for these individuals to work and live at an affordable rate. Therefore, the A&L (Art & Living) District provides the space and the affordability to do so. The A&L District promotes community and togetherness within living spaces that connect to sharable and rentable workspaces for any form of project whether that be cooking, photography, workshops, etc. These can be used to work individually or in teams as required. These spaces may promote other dwellers to experiment with new hobbies and ideas that they can then bounce off of each other and develop. Goods made on site can then be sold at the cafeteria restaurants or retail spaces run by the occupants of the complex, promoting the start of small businesses and fine craftsmanship.
