Kreuzberg Fusion is a proposal for a compact nuclear fusion power plant within the urban context of Berlin, speculating on the advancements in plasma physics research and the return of nuclear power as a base load energy source for Germany.

The project is a celebration of the power plant as a space of innovation, a cathedral of our time, positioned within a wider national energy master plan. The fusion reactor stands at the core of the architecture as an agent for change and public trust in nuclear power.

While reflecting present social and economic change, the power plant brings together all members of the Kreuzberg community. A place of gathering to celebrate scientific progress throughout the year, united by a shared energy-producing nucleus.

The plasma generated by the small-scale experimental reactor reaches temperatures equivalent to that of the sun. Harnessing this energy means clean electricity to power the entire Kreuzberg neighbourhood. The process of construction and experimentation is ongoing with scientists and engineers living on site and maintaining the reactor, documenting progress and presenting their observations throughout.
