With the event we present the project Flussbad Berlin. Partners:Flussbad Berlin e.V.
Das Kulturforum. Baukultur ohne Verfahrenskultur?
The Kulturforum is an ongoing construction site of German cultural politics. Now, a further museum is being planned here. But is the Kulturforum a problem that can only be solved through architecture? Isn't Berlin missing the unique chance to address the urban landscape of this architectural ensemble through urban design?
Future Urbanscape: Berlin’s Kulturforum
The students employ methods of urban analysis through film and undertake open urban design responses to the wider area of the Kulturforum to explore initial approaches to the design of the planned museum building. Partners: Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago de Chile
GHOSTS OF BERLIN Museum der Moderne: New Building for the New National Gallery

Unlivable Berlin
This studio asks how a city expresses its hostilities. Its central interest is to explore the way in which cities can be inclusive and/or exclusionary - physically, socially and ideologically. Partners: University of Melbourne
BIO BERLIN – Visions for non-anthropocentric cohabitation of humans, flora and fauna
How can we build cities that place the survival of the planet in the center of their becoming? Envisioning the cities of tomorrow from a „non-anthropocentric“ perspective means to bring down man from the pedestal of life and putting him at the same level with other vegetative and animal species that share the same urban realm. Partners: TU Braunschweig and Politecnico di Milano

Little Utopias in Big Spaces
Using creative mapping methods in fieldwork in and around Berlin’s Kulturforum, this design studio investigates how big urban spaces, buildings and monuments can exercise power, impose behaviours and narratives, and in some instances, also alienate the human. Partners: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
New Architectures of Everyday Space
Collaborating with their peers from the University of Kentucky, the students undertook fieldwork in and around the Kulturforum. Partners: McGill University, Montréal
