General

Larger scale European work has been undertaken by various combinations of the Gaia International membership.  The buildings opposite are some examples and include competition winning projects involving teams which mostly comprised British, German and Norwegian architects.

The Bergen and Viikkii projects are still in development stage, the Prisma and Frankfurt buildings were completed in the nineties, whereas the Schafbrühl project by Joachim Eble was built in the early eighties and predates the setting up of Gaia International.

The Application of ecological design to mixed use urban development is an increasing area of interest and activity within the Group.
