In the current edition of our company magazine, we take a look at one of the most fundamental elements of our planet: soil. Find out in an interview with our branch managers Klaus Küppers and Reinhold Raster why soil is increasingly becoming a decisive factor in the ability of cities to develop. Look forward to new perspectives, surprising facts and figures on the subject of soil and find out why it is so important to protect it. In addition, we will introduce you to people for whom soil has become their profession. Finally, as always, there will be news from PANDION and four colleagues will answer which soil they like to feel best under their feet.

Together with the City of Cologne and other sponsors from culture and business, PANDION supports the new Gottfried Böhm Scholarship for post-master architects from all over the world.

On the construction site of our project PANDION VILLE in Bonn-Duisdorf, things are progressing with great strides. This week, we officially completed the structural work of the third and thus final construction phase, thus reaching an important milestone. The load-bearing walls, ceilings and roof have been completed and the building structure can also be seen more and more from the outside. At present, we are carrying out the raw installations for electrical, heating, ventilation and sanitation as well as facade and plaster work. Subsequently, we will gradually start with the interior work. The public square is also taking shape. In the future, it will offer a wide range of leisure facilities, including water play areas for children.
